Testing Multiple Delivery Methods of the Virtual Exercise Games for Youth with T1D Peer Intervention: Protocol Development and Feasibility
Authors' conclusion
In a small cohort, the ExerT1D program facilitated a supportive environment for engaging diverse youth with T1D in an MVPA program led by T1D coaches. Larger studies are needed to assess the intervention's impact on engagement with physical activity, glycemic outcomes, and quality of life.
