1. The study explored exercise behavior and knowledge of physical exercise among 196 type 2 diabetes patients in Thailand.
2. Most patients (65.8%) exercised regularly at least 3 times per week, with walking being the most common activity (67%).
3. While most patients exercised regularly, some lacked full knowledge about exercise principles. For example, only 50.5% knew the proper aerobic exercise frequency.
4. The researchers will use the results to provide more targeted patient education on exercise for diabetes management going forward.
