Sponsor's own description
Our main challenge is to develop a novel physical activity intervention to promote exercise participation sustainability and effective health benefits in type 2 diabetes (T2D) population with minimum health risks. The relevance of this study is supported by four cornerstones: 1) The Portuguese love football and there seems to be a major potential in the implementation of football practice as part of the prevention and treatment of noncommunicable diseases for the middle-aged and elderly Portuguese population; 2) no studies have assessed the feasibility and safety of a walking football exercise program for middle-age and older patients with T2D; 3) the proposed investigation relies on robust methodology; 4) this intervention can have further sustainability with the enrollment of football clubs and primary health care units.
