Lower cardiorespiratory fitness in children with Type 1 diabetes

Abstract

Future research should investigate whether the reduced fitness in children with Type 1 diabetes is attributable to lower physical activity levels, or physiological changes resulting from the diabetes pathology itself.

Characteristics of somatic build and physical activity and evaluation of hand grip strength in patients with type 1 diabetes

“…However, in adolescence a decrease in physical activity may be noted both in girls and in boys with diabetes compared to their healthy peers [27,28]. These differences get bigger when the glycaemia levels are controlled less frequently [29,30].…”

“…Ale już w wieku młodzieńczym odnotowuje się spadek AF zarówno u dziewcząt jak i chłopców w stosunku do ich zdrowych rówieśników [27,28]. Różnice pogłębiają się, gdy kontrola poziomu glikemii jest dokonywana z mniejszą częstotliwością [29,30].…”

Increase in physical activity is associated with lower HbA1c levels in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes: Results from a cross-sectional study based on the Swedish pediatric diabetes quality registry (SWEDIABKIDS)

“…Several studies have focused on the correlation between physical activity and HbA1c. Some have succeeded in showing a significant HbA1c-lowering effect of physical activity (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15), whereas others have failed do so (16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22). HbA1c is a main variable in pediatric diabetes care.…”

Evaluation of Physical Fitness in Children With Type 1 Diabetes

“…A number of antibodies are detected in persons with T1D which are believed to cause a specific this disease [3]. Besides, the incidence of T1D is increasing by 3-5% per year, may be attributed to unidentified environmental factors [4][5]. Physical fitness is defined as the ability to perform daily activities willingly and actively.…”
