“…Children with T1DM have higher systolic blood pressure (24, 35), lower O 2 pulse (VO 2 /heart rate) (27), a thickening of capillary basal membrane in skeletal muscle (36, 37), and impairments in the regulation of skeletal muscle blood flow (38–40). Nerve conduction velocity is slower in adolescents with T1DM (41), and they may have an earlier onset of muscular fatigue (42). In addition, adolescent boys with T1DM, who exercise at a relative intensity similar to that of controls, have elevated ratings of perceived exertion (43) and an impaired rate of carbohydrate utilization despite having elevated plasma insulin levels compared with controls (44).…”

The benefits derived from regular physical activity include improved cardiovascular fitness, increased lean mass, improved blood lipid profile, enhanced psychosocial well-being, and decreased body adiposity. The benefits for children with diabetes may also include blood glucose control and enhanced insulin sensitivity. However, for these children, engagement in vigorous physical activity and sport must be properly controlled through modifications in insulin therapy and nutritional intake so that the benefits of exercise outweigh the risks. The following review describes the various physiological and metabolic factors which occur both during exercise and during sport while describing specific recommendations to control glucose excursions by proper insulin management and diet.
