Overview
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.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Active soccer training for at least 5 years
Exclusion Criteria
- •Comorbidities significantly affecting metabolism and thermoregulation
Arms & Interventions
Diabetes
The study group will consist exclusively of diabetics and they will undergo the described treadmill stress test to exhaustion.
Intervention: Incremental exercise
Control
The control group will consist exclusively of healthy participants and they will undergo the described treadmill stress test to exhaustion (identical to the study group).
Intervention: Incremental exercise
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Skin temperature changes
Time Frame: 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).
Core temperature changes
Time Frame: Core temperature recording will start 12 hours before the exercise test and continue throughout its duration.
Core temperature will be measured using the eCelsius Performance system (BodyCap, France).
Secondary Outcomes
- Glycemic monitoring(during the test)
