Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Programs which include physical activity as a component in the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes as well as other chronic diseases have in Denmark and other countries been based on "Exercise on Prescription schemes". In Denmark, these schemes have focused on individual behavioral change and an exercise program for 16 weeks. No studies have documented whether "Exercise on Prescription" helps patients with Type 2 Diabetes to change their lifestyle behavior or whether it has a positive impact on measurements for physical capacity and glucose metabolism.
Nordic Walking is a fitness type of walking; incorporating the use of specially designed walking sticks. Nordic Walking focuses on aerobic training where the additional activity of the arms increases a person's oxygen uptake and energy expenditure.
In Denmark, many activity programs and concepts such as Exercise on Prescription and Nordic Walking are recommended to patients with Type 2 Diabetes but their efficacy has not been demonstrated.
It is unknown whether one specific type of physical training program is more suitable than another, when comparing the physical effects as well as the ability to induce good compliance and change in lifestyle.
The aim of this randomized, controlled trial was to evaluate the effect of two different physical exercise programs lasting 4 months aiming at introducing long term life style changes in physical activity with a follow-up period of 8 months in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Standard written information on exercise
The Control group got the diabetes outpatients clinics standard written information on exercise as a part of the treatment for Type 2 Diabetes and were, like other Type 2 Diabetes patients in the clinic, advised at inclusion to be physically active.
No interventions assigned to this group
Exercise on Prescription
In Denmark, Exercise on Prescription have focused on individual behavioral change and an exercise program for 16 weeks. The physical training consisted of both aerobic and strength training and took place in supervised groups
