The quantitative component consisted of a 12 week randomized controlled trial comparing aerobic training, resistance training and usual care on glycaemic control (HBA1C), % body fat and range of clinically important endpoints. The qualitative component consisted of in-depth interviews to determine barriers/facilitators for adherence to different modes of exercise. The study proved, despite cultural challenges and barriers, the possibility of conducting a large-scale exercise intervention in Sri Lankans for the first time and merit of exercise in Sri Lankans with T2DM.
