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.

Conditions

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Incremental exercise	A graded exercise test will be performed on a treadmill. After 3 minutes of standing on the treadmill, participants will walk at a speed of 4 km/h for the first 3 minutes, then the speed will be increased to 8 km/h. After this point, the treadmill speed will be increased by 2 km/h every 3 minutes until voluntary exhaustion.
