ADAPTIVE PHYSICAL EDUCATION INTERVENTIONS IN CORRECTION OF THE FUNCTIONAL STATE OF STUDENTS WITH DIABETES

Abstract

The article highlights modern ideas about the impact of adaptive physical education on the functional state of people with diabetes. The concept and classification of diabetes, the role of physical exercises in the correction of this disease, types of physical exercises recommended for diabetes; rules for the safe performance of these exercises; as well as practical recommendations for drawing up an individual training program for a special medical group of students with diabetes. Regular, adapted physical activity, taking into account age, type of diabetes, comorbidities, and physical fitness, has been shown to promote and increase exercise tolerance. Aerobic exercise has been shown to be the basis of physical activity for most people with diabetes because it provides moderate, sustained exercise that improves insulin sensitivity, improves cardiovascular function, and normalizes metabolic processes. However, strength training, or resistance training, is as important for people with diabetes as aerobic activity. Flexibility and balance exercises do not directly affect glucose levels, but they are important components of an overall physical activity program for diabetes. It has been shown that physical exercise should be adapted to the physical condition and level of fitness of the specified category of individuals. The findings confirm that regular physical activity has a positive effect on metabolism, increases tissue sensitivity to insulin, helps reduce glycemia, and improves the overall metabolic state of the body. Exercises of various types – aerobic, strength, flexibility, and balance – provide a multi-vector effect on physical performance and health, and their combination in classes of special medical groups allows achieving the best results for students.
