| Abstract: | Implementing and maintaining an exercise program is a primary component of diabetes management. This chapter on physical activity and exercise is from a handbook of the CORE Curriculum, a publication that helps educators prepare for the Certified Diabetes Educators (CDE) exam, serves as a key reference for the Advanced Diabetes Management credential exam, and provides an authoritative source of information for diabetes education, training, and management. In this chapter, the authors use the term 'physical activity' when discussing options that can lead to health and diabetes benefits. Topics include the benefits of physical activity; the physiological response to increased physical fitness in individuals with and without diabetes; the risks associated with physical activity and ways to minimize risks; the principles of increasing physical activity levels for people with diabetes; appropriate physical activity options for special populations; and strategies for self-directed physical fitness programs. The chapter includes an introduction, a list of learning objectives, key definitions (glossary), key educational considerations, self review questions, references, and a post-test (including an answer key). 9 tables. 88 references. |
