In South Africa, about 6% of people have diabetes,

In South Africa, about 6% of people have diabetes, and millions more are pre-diabetic or have the disease but are oblivious to it.

Diabetes can be treated and its consequences avoided or delayed with diet, physical activity, medication and regular screening and treatment for complications thus a biokineticist will form part of a multidisciplinary team to manage the disease.

A biokineticist can conduct a personalized examination including measuring your blood sugar levels and monitoring your heart rate during moderate exertion. Armed with an intimate knowledge of your circumstances, the biokineticist will then design and prescribe a physical activity or exercise program to suit your exact requirements.

Biokineticists can also advise on exercises to reduce body fat and enhance how the body handles glucose. Both crucial components in diabetic management.
The proper use of exercise prescription can help regulate/control blood glucose levels. Regular exercise can lead to improved glucose tolerance, increased insulin sensitivity and a decreased HbA1C value whilst also decreasing cardiovascular disease risk factors and increasing an individual’s longevity.

Very proud of Dr Marlize De Vivo, Biokineticist in

Very proud of Dr Marlize De Vivo, Biokineticist in the UK, and member of the Biokinetics Association of the United Kingdom and CEO & Co-Founder of The Active Pregnancy Foundation, who has co-authored the BASES Expert Statement on Pregnancy and Postnatal Athletes.

Marlize De Vivo said:
“This statement has been a year in the making and in this time, we have seen women pushing boundaries and perceptions in the sporting arena. Whilst the wider topic area of women in sport has gained interest, there is still a lot of work that needs doing to support athletes during their reproductive years.

Now is absolutely the right time to raise awareness of the topic area generally but also to encourage conversations between athletes and key stakeholders to address the gaps in evidence, guidance, and policy. We also hope that the sport and exercise industry respond with updates in curricula and requirements for continuous professional development. This Expert Statement provides the foundation for these discussions.”

Biokinetics contributing significantly to the health, wellness and the medical industry in the UK and internationally."
