Body Composition, Fitness, and Thermoregulation in Young Boys With Type I Diabetes vs. Healthy Soccer Players

NCT06676878 | Enrolling By Invitation

• 1 other identifier: 654/24
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 40
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Skin temperature changes

  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).

  during the test

• Core temperature changes

  Core temperature will be measured using the eCelsius Performance system (BodyCap, France).

  Core temperature recording will start 12 hours before the exercise test and continue throughout its duration.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Glycemic monitoring

  during the test

Other Outcomes (11)

• Antropometric measurement - weight

  before test

• Antropometric measurement - height

  before test

• Bone Mineral Density (BMD):

Study Arms (2)

Diabetes

EXPERIMENTAL

The study group will consist exclusively of diabetics and they will undergo the described treadmill stress test to exhaustion.

Device: Incremental exercise

Control

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

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).

Device: Incremental exercise

Interventions

Incremental exercise DEVICE

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.

Control; Diabetes

You may qualify if:

• Active soccer training for at least 5 years

You may not qualify if:
