Motivational profiles, accelerometer-derived physical activity, and acute diabetes-related symptoms in adults with type 2 diabetes

Table 5 Relationship between motivational profiles and meeting PA recommendations for T2D management over a one-month period (N = 165)

Motivational profiles		Observance of PA recommendations for adults with T2D		χ²	Cramer’s V
Motivational profiles		Yes	No	χ²	Cramer’s V
Self-Determined	Observed frequency	30 (41.7%)^b	42 (58.3%)^a	9.88^*	.25^*
Self-Determined	Expected frequency	21.8	50.2
High Introjected	Observed frequency	11 (27.5%)^b	29 (72.5%)^b
High Introjected	Expected frequency	12.1	27.9
Low Motivation	Observed frequency	8 (20.5%) ^b	31 (79.5%)^b
Low Motivation	Expected frequency	11.8	27.2
Non-Self-Determined	Observed frequency	1 (7.1%)^b	13 (92.9%)^a
Non-Self-Determined	Expected frequency	4.2	9.8

Note. Observing 150 min of MVPA: achieving at least an average of 150 min of MVPA per week. When comparing the “Yes” and “No” column, different letters indicate significant differences between observed and expected frequency in term of observance of PA recommendations (e.g. for the group who is not observing 150 min MVPA/week, the self-determined profile has an observed frequency that is significantly lower than expected and for the group who is observing 150 min MVPA/week, the self-determined profile has an observed frequency that is significantly higher than expected). Bootstrapping procedures with a sample size of 3000 was used following Chernick’s (2007) recommendations
