Impact of a 4‐week intensive track and field training intervention on glycaemia in adolescents with type 1 diabetes: The ChilDFiT1 study
Authors' conclusion
Track and field training combined with intensive glycaemic management improved glycaemia in adolescents with T1D, which was not observed in the non-exercise group.
Study context
- Population
- Adolescents with T1D (age 15.1 ± 1.1 years, HbA1c 7.3% ± 1.0%)7 females
- Participants
- 18 adolescents
- Comparison
- Track and field exercise plus intensive glycaemic management (exercise (EX)) vs intensive glycaemic management alone (IT)
Methodological details4-week observational control phase before randomization
- 4-week observational control phase before randomization
Primary result
As reported in the abstract
TIR (70-180 mg/dL), observational control phase vs intervention phase · 4 weeks
- EX: TIR 69% ± 13% vs 72% ± 11%, significant improvement
- P = .049
- IT: TIR 59% ± 22% vs 62% ± 16%, no significant improvement
- P = .399
Further findings
| Outcome | EX | IT |
|---|---|---|
| HbA1c change, pre- to postinterventionMean | −0.19% (SD 0.17%) | −0.16% (SD 0.37%) |
| P (within-group) | P = .042 | P = .40 |
TBR 1 (54-69 mg/dL), control vs intervention phase
- IT: 3.1% ± 1.9% vs 2.0% ± 0.8%, improved
- P = 0.017
- EX: 2.0% ± 1.7 vs 1.9% ± 1.1%, stable
- P = 0.999
Glucose SD, control vs intervention phase
- EX: 55 ± 11 vs 51 ± 10 mg/dL, significantly reduced
- P = 0.011
- IT: 70 ± 24 vs 63 ± 18 mg/dL, not significantly reduced
- P = 0.186
