Abstract

This is a cross-sectional study that aims at analysing the level of knowledge of Physical Education undergraduate students on diabetes and physical exercise. The random sample consisted of 69 students from three physical education university courses in 2011. Data were collected through a questionnaire consisting of 27 questions related to concepts of the disease, its signs and symptoms and physical exercise. Results showed that the students had satisfactory marks in physical exercise questions and inadequate in concepts, signs and symptoms. Regarding the number of answers, the average of correct answers was 11.1±3.4; the average of incorrect answers was 15.0±2.8. Twenty-three students failed to answer all questions (average of 2.4±2.7). The researchers recommend that concepts, signs and symptoms and physical exercise applied to people with diabetes mellitus should be added to the course curriculum; therefore, the physical education teacher will be able to contribute to comprehensive health care delivery.
