Sažetak

Introduction: Physical activity is one of the most important factors in control and treatment of patients with diabetes.
There are multiple health benefits from being physical active: being stronger, reducing of insulin resistance,
healthy weight and being able to control glicemia. Physical activity can meaningfully prevent many diabetic complications
and reduce the need for using many drugs for treatment.
Aim: The aim of this study was to explore physical activity habits of people who suffer from type 1 and type 2
diabetes and to determine the effect of physical activity on patients quality of life.
Methods: We collected data by an anonymous survey questionnaire that has been made for the purpose of this
research. Questionnaire has 21 questions related to sociodemographic data of the patients, disease data, physical
activities habits, the reasons why physical activity is not performed as well as the awareness of the effects of
physical activity in diabetes. To find out the impact of physical activity on patients quality of life as well as the
satisfaction of their own health and emotional condition we also used some of questions from SF 36 questionnaire.
Study was designed as cross sectional study.
Results: 77 people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes completed the questionnaire. The average age of the participants
was 64.18 years. The majority of participants, 58 of them (75.3%) in this study have type 2 diabetes. There
is no significant difference in the satisfaction of health among the participants who are physical active and those
who are not (p>0.05). The most common form of physical activity is walk, performed by 27 (31.2%) persons,
25 (32.5%) of participants are physical active every day. The level of education does not affect familiarity with
the effects of physical activity on the level of blood sugar (p>0.05). 36(46.8%) participants are not physical active.
There is a significant difference in the frequency of response choices with respect to the age of participant
(p=0.02). Participants older than 60 years often choose answers like lack of interest, complications of illness and
other reasons as a reason for not having physical activity as compared to the younger participants that mostly
choose answer as having no time for physical activity. There are no significant differences in the duration of the
disease due to the frequency of physical activity (p>0,05). Regardless of being physical active the participants
achieve equal results on scales that measure mental health and the expression of vitality.
Conclusion: Due to the large amount of people with diabetes that do not practice any type of physical activity it
is necessary to implement educational and preventive activities in order to increase awareness of the importance
of being physical active for health and quality of life.
