Municipal Health Services are collaborating on a study of Diabetes and Physical Activity being carried out by the Health Center of La Alberca.
The study aims to determine the minimum unit of physical activity that causes statistically significant metabolic changes in diabetic patients.
The study factor is the amount of weekly exercise that exposes the patient groups.
The weekly activity measurement is given in km / time travel, in moderate aerobic exercise / walk: 60 minutes total, preceded by 10 minutes of warming, ending with 10 minutes of stretching and cool down.
Municipal collaboration is the commissioning of a new group 4 / 40 in the area composed of people selected for investigation.
It has designed a route that has its origin and end in the garden area next to the Health Center of La Alberca.
The group is accompanied and supervised daily by a degree in Physical Activity.
The study involved 23 patients with diabetes in the area La Alberca - Holy Angel, who walk two or three days a week, according to the group assigned to them in the studio, Monday to Thursday at seven p.m. .
