Abstract

Indigenous peoples globally experience a high burden of type 2 diabetes in comparison to non-Indigenous peoples. While community-based exercise interventions designed for type 2 diabetes (T2D) management have garnered success in non-Indigenous populations, they likely require adjustments to meet the needs of Indigenous people. This systematic review aims to determine if health outcomes in Indigenous peoples with T2D could be improved by community-based exercise programmes and the features of those programmes that best meet their needs. The CINAHL, Embase, Informit Indigenous Collection, Medline, PubMed, Scopus, SportDiscus, and Web of Science databases have been searched to identify peer-reviewed literature with original outcome data that report on the health effects of community-based exercise interventions for the management of T2D among Indigenous peoples. The Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool and Indigenous Community Engagement Tool were implemented to assess methodological quality. Three moderate-to-high-quality studies were selected for review, including participants of Polynesian or Native American Zuni Indian descent. Results indicated positive effects of group exercise on glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), body mass index, body weight, total cholesterol, blood pressure, quality of life, and patient activation levels in high-adhering participants. This review concludes that community-based exercise interventions may improve health outcomes for Indigenous adults with T2D when conducted with strong community engagement.
