Responses to Low- and High-Intensity Exercise in Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes in Relation to Their Level of VO2 Max

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) on glycemic changes during low and high intensity exercises in young type 1 diabetic patients. Twenty boys (age: 14.3 ± 1.6 years; height: 171.0 11.3 cm; weight; 59.5 12.8 kg) were divided into low-fit group (LFG, n = 10) high-fit (HFG, 10). According experimental design, participants performed three physical efforts max test, mixed aerobic–anaerobic effort aerobic effort) cycloergometer, which real-time glycemia measured. Mixed exercise demanded significantly smaller carbohydrate supplementation (0.2 0.2 g/kg exercise) than test session (0.4 0.3 exercise). Moreover, patients with higher VO2 had lower tendency for effort. results current suggest that should perform different activities using continuous monitoring system avoid acute chronic complications disease.
