ESTUDOS SOBRE O CONHECIMENTO DO PROFESSOR DE EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA EM RELAÇÃO A PRESCRIÇÃO DE EXERCÍCIOS PARA DIABÉTICOS

Abstract

This study focuses on assessing the knowledge of Physical Education teachers regarding exercise prescription for patients with diabetes mellitus. Through surveys, literature reviews, workshops, and training methodologies, the aim was to identify gaps in the understanding of these professionals. While many possess a comprehensive understanding of various exercise modalities, certain gaps persist, such as individualizing prescriptions and understanding the interaction between exercises and medications. Recognizing the importance of personalized exercise programs, continuous education, and interdisciplinary collaboration, this research seeks to enhance the training and practice of Physical Education professionals, aiming to promote health and prevent complications associated with diabetes.
