We have developed an E-platform based on Moodle for providing physical education teachers with valuable knowledge related to the needs of their diabetic athletes.
Our E-Platform includes two parts:

B) MOODLE e-PLATFORM with open access to everybody including:
1) 30 e-Modules for physical education teachers and coaches:
– aiming to provide skills to physical education teachers and coaches to be able to handle any emergency medical situation of their diabetic athletes and
– educating how they can provide encouragement and support to their diabetic athletes in order to continue their efforts.
The modules also include among others:
a) Scientific information concerning the health benefits related to specific physical exercises;
b) Strategies to psychologically support youth and adults that suffer from diabetes type I and II in order to encourage them get involved in physical education classes.
c) Studies, opinions, latest findings concerning diabetes and physical activity, interviews with health professionals and success stories of diabetic patients.
PARENTS SECTION: A special section of the E -platform is devoted to raise awareness concerning the importance of physical exercise for people with diabetes type I and II. Our goal is to convince parents and families of persons suffering from diabetes type I and II that physical activity is health enhancing; therefore they must support their relatives to get involved in physical exercise or sports.
