OBJECTIVE: This study examined the effectiveness of a fully automated web-based programme to increase physical activity in adults with Type 2 diabetes. METHODS: Between May and July 2010, participants were randomly allocated into either a 12-36week intervention (n=195) or a control (n=202) group. Participants were adults diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, residing in Australia. Participants were assessed at baseline, 12 and 36weeks. The primary physical activity outcome was self-reported minutes of total physical activity. Secondary physical activity outcomes included minutes spent walking, and engaged in moderate, and vigorous physical activity. Additional measures included website satisfaction and website usage. The intervention consisted of a 12-week web-based physical activity intervention developed based on the Theory of Planned Behavior and self-management framework. Data were analysed from 2011 to 2012. RESULTS: There was a significant group-by-time interaction (X(2) (df=1)=6.37, p
