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

Table 4 Impact of motivational profiles on Weekly MVPA over a one-month period (N = 165)

PA behavior	Univariate F-value (3, 159)	Eta²	Motivational Profiles Mean (SD)	Posthoc (Bonneferonni)	Difference (SE)	Bootstrapped 95% CI
Weekly MVPA (R²_adj = 0.22)	4.35^**	0.24	Self-Determined	vs Low Motivation	50.29^** (18.22)	[14.93, 86.08]

Note. Results of an ANOVA showed that sex was significantly associated with Weekly MVPA while results of a correlational analysis showed that BMI was also related to this same outcome. Therefore, the ANCOVA was controlling for sex and BMI. Bootstrapping procedures with a sample size of 3000 was used following Chernick’s (2007) recommendations. Weekly MVPA; over the entire period the accelerometer was worn, average number of minutes spent practicing MVPA per week
