L’esercizio fisico nel diabete di tipo 2: come possiamo migliorare l’aderenza?

Abstract

Regular exercise is associated to several health benefits. However, only 39% of adults with type 2 diabetes reach the recommended goals for physical activity. Adherence to exercise needs removing barriers to behavioural changes by setting realistic goals. To make the chan¬ge lasting, group is fundamental and automatic behaviours must be created. However, the extent of the problem clearly indicates that a patient-centred approach is not enough. National policies including programs to encourage regular exercise are needed, with intensive in-terventions and investments.
