Greetings again, today I will discuss the topic of diabetes and physical exercise to answer the question that made us
Ana
First go from general to specific, people more often suffer from diabetes are adults and / or older. Diabetes is a disorder in the absorption of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are all possible forms of simple sugars and compounds of our food chain. For the sugar from food to enter the cell, where it is consumed, the human being need a special hormone, insulin. Two main types of diabetes, Type I and II. In the latter, which is what concerns us, there is usually enough insulin in the pancreas, but at the cellular level sensitivity to the effect of insulin is low. There is talk of a relative deficiency of insulin.
Lack of exercise, combined with being overweight, reduce the sensitivity of cells to insulin, as a result of reduced physical activity the ability of cells to consume less energy and metabolism slows.
We have to differentiate when it comes to diabetes and physical activity both types of diabetes, currently Studies have found that people with Type I diabetes who exercise frequently fails to develop type II diabetes, on the contrary if these people stop frequent physical exercise are generally more likely to develop type II diabetes.
What are the improvements in older people can achieve through exercise?
Improvement Improve your dynamic balance independence and prevent falls.
prevents back pain or diabetes sarcopenia.
increases bone density. Improved
diseases such as osteoporosis, osteoarthritis or other orthopedic injuries
. As you said
Ana, the main points to be addressed in diabetes is a glucose-free balanced diet and regular physical activity. Those
sedentary should start an exercise program of low intensity and duration, then increased progressively. Forgetting the rush to get good results, it will take months to reach an optimal condition for their age. In all cases, it is extremely important to conduct prior to a full medical check, to determine the presence or absence of cardiovascular, muscle or joint to prevent the occurrence of side effects that can be corrected. Changing eating habits, consuming a diet nutritious, balanced, acquires the same importance as physical activity regularly. Extremely damaging to health snuff consumption, alcohol and any drugs (except prescription).
Ana, the choice of a program of activities should be undertaken with great care must be led by experts in medicine or physical education and not by non-specialists, it is important always to deal with people who suffer some kind of pathology, but As a general rule but not applicable to all people because each person must be evaluated individually, the ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine) which is the institution guide and regulate the physical and recommendations globally gives us guidelines for healthy physical activity in people with type II diabetes:
According to Harold Elrick (1996), exercise reduces high blood pressure often experienced by individuals diabetes, in addition to increasing the effectiveness of insulin and sugar metabolism.
continued efforts are recommended, such as walking, jogging, hiking, biking, swimming and skiing. Endurance sports are particularly suitable because they can be countered by other risk factors of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension.
Exercises develop their muscle strength, but also strengthen your body, have other beneficial effects on your body.
Balance exercises help prevent a common problem among older adults: falls.
Flexibility exercises help keep your body limber by stretching your muscles and tissues that hold the structures in your body instead.
To finish answering your question, unfortunately I can not give you a magic table exercises, intensity, frequency and duration that each person has specific needs according to their health, related diseases general and specific objectives of the program that you want to get, etc..
Many thanks for your question, I hope my answer fits what you want to know.
