Body Composition, Fitness, and Thermoregulation in Young Boys With Type I Diabetes vs. Healthy Soccer Players
- Conditions
- Diabetes
- Registration Number
- NCT06676878
- Lead Sponsor
- Paweł Korman
- Brief Summary
The study aims to assess differences in body composition, exercise capacity, and thermoregulation between young soccer players with type 1 diabetes and their healthy peers. Real-time glycemic monitoring during exercise will provide insights for developing effective diabetes management strategies, enhancing athletes' health and performance.
- Detailed Description
The aim of the study is to assess differences in body composition, exercise capacity, and exercise-induced thermoregulation between young athletes (soccer players) with type 1 diabetes and their healthy peers (also soccer players). Specifically, the study seeks to understand how type 1 diabetes, periodic glycemic fluctuations, and the body's metabolic balance status impact these parameters. By monitoring glycemic levels in real-time during exercise, the research will provide valuable insights into the necessity and frequency of glycemic control for individuals engaging in physical activity of varying intensities. The data obtained from this study may be crucial for developing effective strategies for managing type 1 diabetes in athletes, ultimately contributing to the improvement of their overall health and physical performance. Additionally, these findings could inform guidelines and recommendations for safe and effective exercise practices for diabetic athletes.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Skin temperature changes during the test Thermal images of the lower limbs will be taken using a thermal camera (Flir SC 640, manufactured in the USA) before, during, and after exercise (during recovery). The assessment will be performed in degrees Celsius (°C).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Glycemic monitoring during the test Athletes with type 1 diabetes (study group) and healthy individuals (control group) will also have a continuous glucose monitoring sensor (FreeStyle Libra, Abbott Medical, Warsaw, Poland, or similar) placed on the back of one arm. The sensors will be applied one week before the exercise test and will remain active for 14 days. Glucose levels will be measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL).
