Physical activity and sedentary behavior in adolescents with type 1 diabetes

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to describe the associations between levels of physical activity measured by accelerometry and changes in fitness, body composition, lipids, and glucose control (i.e., glycosolated hemoglobin [A1C]) in a sample of 16 adolescents with type 1 diabetes participating in a personalized exercise program. More sedentary activity was associated with lower fitness and fat free mass and increased total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL-c), and triglycerides (p < .05). Greater amounts of moderate to vigorous activity were associated with higher fitness and fat free mass, and decreased total cholesterol, LDL-c, triglycerides, and A1C (p < .05). Findings support the beneficial effects of increased moderate activity and decreased sedentary behavior to reduce cardiovascular risks and improve glucose control in adolescents with type 1 diabetes.

Physical Activity Levels of Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes Physical Activity in T1D

“…Another study classified the time dedicated to different intensities of physical activity performed by children and adolescents with T1D (23). Similar to the current study, the authors (23) observed that the time spent in sedentary activities (e.g.…”

Effect of Regular Physical Activity on Metabolic Control in Pediatric Age Group with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

“…Studies of training program on group of adolescents with T1DM revealed that regular physical exercise significantly decrease HbA1c [8,18]. Other studies revealed similar significant results [4][5][6]9,19,20] which showed that improvement was associated with the frequency of physical activity [4,20].…”

“…Many studies of type 1 diabetes children or adolescent have demonstrated that exercise have a beneficial effect in type 1 diabetes. It lowers blood pressure [4], improves lipid profile [5,6], endurance capacity [7], body composition of fat to muscle mass ratio [8][9][10][11], physical fitness [7], insulin sensitivity [12], bone mineral density [11], vascular function [7], antioxidant capacity [13] and overall quality of the life [10,14].…”

Psychosocial factors in young patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus ? a practical approach

“…Не было статистически Обучение и психосоциальные аспекты значимых различий в физической активности между па-циентами с разными режимами интенсивной инсулино-терапии (МИИ и ППИИ) [34]. В еще одном исследовании авторы Michaliszyn и Faulkner сообщают, что недостаток физической активности у подростков с СД1 приводит к повышению уровня свободных жирных кислот, общего холестерина, ЛПОНП, триглицеридов и HbA 1c [35].…”
