People with type 1 diabetes exhibit lower exercise capacity compared to a control population with similar physical activity levels
Authors' conclusion
Individuals with T1D exhibit lower fitness capacity compared to a control population, regardless of age and sex, even when presenting similar levels of total physical activity and adherence to guidelines.
Study context
- Population
- Individuals with T1D and a control population
- Participants
- 232 vs 248
- Exposure
- T1D vs controls
- T1Dn = 232
- Controlsn = 248reference
- Outcome
- PA levels (IPAQ-SF), adherence to PA guidelines (>150 min/week moderate-to-vigorous PA) and fitness capacity (VO2max, maximal incremental cycle ergometer test, 1RM test)
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
VO2max
P < 0.001
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
Work capacity · significantly lower with T1D · adjusted for sex and age
P = 0.004
Strength capacity (1RM) · significantly lower with T1D · adjusted for sex and age
P = 0.01
Total PA levels
Adherence to PA guidelines
Sedentariness
Total physical activity (PA) levels
- Similar between groups
Adherence to PA guidelines
- Similar between groups
Sedentariness
- Similar between groups
