Quasi-experimental controlled study protocol to reduce sedentary lifestyle in patients with type 2 diabetes

Quasi-experimental controlled study, single-center, parallel, two-branch, with a 12-month follow-up. We plan to recruit up to a total of 169 participants, who will be assigned in a 1:1 ratio to a control group (who will receive e-mails) and an intervention group (who will receive face-to-face group and individual visits and telephone calls). The active intervention has a duration of 6 months and will be carried out by nursing professionals. The primary outcomes are sedentary time measured with the Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire (SBQ) and the use of accelerometers, and the state of motivation to change measured through the Transtheoretical Model of Physical Exercise Change Questionnaire (TMPECQ). Trial registration. ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT06893146).
