Goals of the BE-NEW project<\/strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. transmit and strengthen the culture of regular exercise of diabetic people, enhancing their understanding of its importance for health,<\/li>\n
  2. contribute to improving health of the diabetic population, allowing equal access opportunities to exercise\/physical activity for all, including the most socially and\/or economically disadvantaged ones,<\/li>\n
  3. improve overall health of a larger diabetic population by monitoring the level of weekly exercise of young people and adults, to reach the level indicated by the World Health Organization,<\/li>\n
  4. contribute to the professional development of Physical Education Teachers (PETs), in using valid exercise and physical activity protocols for children\/adolescents with and without diabetes, in the context of differentiated teaching and inclusion, to improve their quality of life and health,<\/li>\n
  5. develop and promote scientific knowledge about the health benefits of physical activity in people with diabetes, through testing and evaluating their progress and results, as well as the exercise protocols.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Objectives of the BE-NEW project:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. improve health indicators (blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein HDL, low-density lipoprotein LDL triglycerides, hemodynamic response through physical activity, continuous, voluntary participation in physical\/sports activities, following protocols that are created, implemented and evaluated by the researchers of the Program,<\/li>\n
    2. improve knowledge, attitudes and practices of the PETs, through the creation, implementation and evaluation of a distance training program for the co-education and inclusion of children\/adolescents with Type I Diabetes in Physical Education and in general physical activity programs,<\/li>\n
    3. improve health-related quality of life, health-related fitness, social skills and active engagement time in physical activity of children\/adolescents with Type I Diabetes, through the PE course,<\/li>\n
    4. provide specialized information on Diabetes and physical activity to postgraduate students.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
