Comparison of capilary glycemic responses after moderated continuous racing and high-intensity interval training in diabetes type 1 patients

Materials and methods Seven men with DM1, aged 26±6.63 yrs., BMI 24±1.99 kg/ m2, with DM1 duration of 15±9 yrs., HbA1c 7.76±0.4%, and physically active without historical chronic complications volunteered to this study. In the MI protocol, subjects remained at a constant rate for 30 min to maximum 60% of the estimated heart rate. In the HIIT protocol, individuals ran for 1 min at high intensity (higher than 90% HR) and walked 1 min 5 km/h for 20 min. Samples were collected in two different days, with an interval of 48 h between them. The first day was composed of physical assessment, dietary investigation of the last 24 h and realization of the first protocol exercise. The second day also consisted of food recall for the last 24 h and realization of the second protocol exercise. The protocols were assigned randomly. During exercise protocols, perceived exertion (PSE), heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP) and capillary glucose levels were collected immediately before and after and 30 min after the test.
