Brief summary

This is a randomised controlled trial of a home-based resistance training program using resistance exercise bands, for people with type 2 diabetes who are limited in their ability to perform aerobic exercise due to other co-morbidities.

The resistance exercises performed were chest press, seated back rows, leg abductions, leg extension, seated leg press, triceps extensions, and biceps curls.
