Personalized Exercise for Adolescents With Diabetes
Completed · Phase 1
Conditions studied: Diabetes
In brief
This study aims to determine the likely benefits of a study that would use the novel techniques both of writing an exercise "prescription" and of including the family and/or community in sticking to the exercise prescription by youths with diabetes, who often suffer eventual cardiovascular complications that might be lessened by the exercise.

Who can join
Age: 12 and older, up to 19. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.
You may qualify if…
- Adolescents aged 12 to 19
- With a diagnosis of type 1 or type 2 DM
- Score on Physical Activity Recall (PAR) Scale of 36 metabolic equivalents (METs) or less to ensure enrollment of youths who are not already engaged in a regular exercise or sports program
- Have a parent (guardian) who also agrees to attend personalized exercise program (PEP) training, participate in exercising and provide ongoing encouragement and support for PEP, and who does not have any positive responses to the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q). The decision to use a value for METs < 36 is based upon current PAR data from the PI's R01 that revealed a mean score of 34.7 ± 3.1 for teens with type 1 DM and 33.5 ± 1.4 for teens with type 2 DM. Mean scores for both groups reflect activity levels that are well below the current recommendation of 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise on most days of the week.
You may not qualify if…
- Subjects will be excluded if they:
- Are in a school grade that is not appropriate to age within 2 years (this is to control for overt delays in cognition, literacy, and psychological or behavioral functioning)
- Have developed diabetes as a secondary condition to treatment for another chronic condition (i.e., cancer)
- Have known cardiac defects
- Are pregnant females.
