The aim of this study was to assess motives and barriers to exercise training in hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: Data were collected using a questionnaire about motives and barriers to exercise training during hospitalization. Additional data for clinical characteristics of the participants were collected from patient records. Results: 79 patients participated (mean \u00b1 SD age 72 \u00b1 12 years; 42% women), of whom 25% had a low level of education and 46% lived alone. The median (IQR) length of the stay was 6 (4\u201310) days. A total of 67% of the participants wished to be more physically active. Walking as exercise was preferred by 51%. The most frequently reported barriers to exercise training were bodily pain (48%) and dizziness (42%). Low vs. high level of education, and living alone vs. being married\/living with a partner were associated with reduced odds of a wish to be more physically active, odds ratio (OR) 0.15 [95% CI 0.03; 0.76], p = 0.022, and 0.21 [0.05; 0.82], p = 0.025, respectively. Conclusion: Two out of three hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes wished to be more physically active during admission. Bodily pain was a barrier to exercise training and needs attention in training programs. As a low level of education was associated with reduced odds of a wish to be more active, a strategy to include all patients in training programs which considers social inequality is needed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph19031035","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,18]],"date-time":"2022-01-18T08:09:20Z","timestamp":1642493360000},"page":"1035","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Motives and Barriers to Exercise Training during Hospitalization in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: A Cross-Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9214-046X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stig","family":"Molsted","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Research, Nordsj\u00e6llands Hospital, 3400 Hiller\u00f8d, Denmark"},{"name":"Department of Clinical Medicine, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, 2200 Copenhagen, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lasse","family":"Kusk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Research, Nordsj\u00e6llands Hospital, 3400 Hiller\u00f8d, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S\u00f8ren Mingon","family":"Esbensen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Research, Nordsj\u00e6llands Hospital, 3400 Hiller\u00f8d, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thomas Martin","family":"Mohr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Research, Nordsj\u00e6llands Hospital, 3400 Hiller\u00f8d, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Malene Bang","family":"Vind","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology and Nephrology, Nordsj\u00e6llands Hospital, 3400 Hiller\u00f8d, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Camilla","family":"Hess","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology and Nephrology, Nordsj\u00e6llands Hospital, 3400 Hiller\u00f8d, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Bandholm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Medicine, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, 2200 Copenhagen, Denmark"},{"name":"Department of Clinical Research, Department of Physical and Occupational Therapy, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Copenhagen University Hospital, Amager and Hvidovre, 2650 Copenhagen, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5868-4677","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Morten Tange","family":"Kristensen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Medicine, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, 2200 Copenhagen, Denmark"},{"name":"Department of Physical and Occupational Therapy, Copenhagen University Hospital, Bispebjerg-Frederiksberg, 2400 Copenhagen, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cornelie M\u00f8lsted","family":"Flege","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Food Science and Technology, Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen, 1870 Frederiksberg, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5431-824X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peter Lommer","family":"Kristensen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Medicine, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, 2200 Copenhagen, Denmark"},{"name":"Department of Endocrinology and Nephrology, Nordsj\u00e6llands Hospital, 3400 Hiller\u00f8d, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"151189","DOI":"10.1016\/j.apnr.2019.151189","article-title":"How Much do Hospitalized Adults Move?
