          Abstract

          El trabajo que se presenta expone la construcción histórica del concepto de sostenibilidad a partir de explorar pensamientos, opiniones y propuestas sobre los temas ambientales, con el objetivo de que este análisis contribuya a explorar conceptos que nos aproximen a un desarrollo más sostenible. La importancia fundamental de la sostenibilidad del desarrollo de la sociedad humana, en relación con su soporte ecológico, se verifica en los problemas interrelacionados del hábitat y la energía. Los principales inconvenientes se encuentran comprendidos entre los que tienen una gravitación dominante en las condiciones de la sostenibilidad del desarrollo; ellos son los siguientes: el crecimiento descontrolado de la población mundial, la creciente tasa de urbanización, el uso intensivo de los recursos naturales no renovables, la emisión de desechos contaminantes y la calidad de vida no equitativa de las poblaciones urbanas. El trabajo intenta -a partir de una breve recopilación histórica de la evolución del concepto de sostenibilidad, de los aportes intelectuales que han contribuido a darle forma y de la presentación de los complejos escenarios futuros alternativos de la condición humana sobre la Tierra- realizar una modesta contribución que nos ayude a encontrar el camino hacia el nuevo paradigma de "sociedad sostenible", y comprometernos en la búsqueda de alternativas que puedan significar una aproximación para alcanzar la sostenibilidad ambiental, global y local de hábitat humano human.

          Translated abstract

          This paper reviews the historical construction of the concept of sustainability by exploring thoughts, opinions and proposals on environmental issues, with the goal that this analysis will help to explore concepts that bring us closer to a more sustainable development strategy. The fundamental importance of the sustainable development of human society in relation to its ecological support is confirmed through the interrelated issues of habitat and energy. Of these issues, in terms of their dominance in relation to sustainable development, the paper includes: the uncontrolled growth of world population, the increasing rate of urbanization, the intensive use of non-renewable natural resources, the waste emission of pollutants and the inequitable quality of life of urban populations. The paper attempts a brief historical overview of the evolution of the concept of sustainability, as well as of the intellectual contributions that have helped to shape and to demonstrate the complex alternative future scenarios of the human condition on Earth. In doing so, it hopes to make a modest contribution to helping both to find our way to a new paradigm of "sustainable society" and to engage in the search for alternatives that can mean an approach to achieving environmental, global and local sustainability of the human habitat.

          Exercise and Type 2 Diabetes

          Although physical activity (PA) is a key element in the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes, many with this chronic disease do not become or remain regularly active. High-quality studies establishing the importance of exercise and fitness in diabetes were lacking until recently, but it is now well established that participation in regular PA improves blood glucose control and can prevent or delay type 2 diabetes, along with positively affecting lipids, blood pressure, cardiovascular events, mortality, and quality of life. Structured interventions combining PA and modest weight loss have been shown to lower type 2 diabetes risk by up to 58% in high-risk populations. Most benefits of PA on diabetes management are realized through acute and chronic improvements in insulin action, accomplished with both aerobic and resistance training. The benefits of physical training are discussed, along with recommendations for varying activities, PA-associated blood glucose management, diabetes prevention, gestational diabetes mellitus, and safe and effective practices for PA with diabetes-related complications.
