Considering the difficulty in inculcating the habit of exercise among patients with type 2 diabetes, devising an easily maintained means of exercise is preferable. Passive body trunk exercise equipment (PBTE) developed for home use might solve several problems related to exercise therapy, both for patients and clinical staff involved in diabetes treatment; however, its efficacy as a therapeutic exercise device for patients with diabetes has not been ascertained. The purpose of this study was to measure the exercise intensity and self‐efficacy of PBTE, and to determine whether PBTE is a useful tool for exercise therapy.

使用被动式躯干锻炼器械对 2 型糖尿病患者进行锻炼时耗氧量和自我效能的影响。

考虑到 2 型糖尿病患者难以养成锻炼的习惯，最好设计一种易于维持的锻炼方式。为家庭使用而开发的被动式躯干锻炼设备 (PBTE) 可能会为参与糖尿病治疗的患者和临床工作人员解决与运动治疗相关的几个问题；然而，它作为糖尿病患者的治疗性锻炼装置的功效尚未确定。本研究的目的是测量 PBTE 的运动强度和自我效能，并确定 PBTE 是否是运动治疗的有用工具。
