| Background: Patients with diabetes mellitus commonly experience a diminished quality of life. The adoption of a sedentary lifestyle is well recognized as a risk factor that can be altered for the development of type 2 diabetes, as well as an independent indicator that predicts a diminished quality of life. Exercise plays a crucial role in the management of individuals having diabetes.
