Effect of Low-intensity Aerobic Regular Activity on Heart Rate Variability in Type 1 Diabetes
Sponsor: University of Banja Luka
Summary
A monocentric prospective randomized trial included 35 patients with Type 1 diabetes. Participants were randomized into two groups: Group A with the patients who engaged in low-intensity physical activity five days per week over a one-year observation period and Group B with the patients who engaged in physical activity less than five days per week. The study included three clinical visits: at baseline, at six months, and at one year. Assessments included cyclo-ergometry and body composition analysis during the baseline visit and at six-month visit, while 24-hour Holter monitoring was conducted at baseline and at the final visit. Biochemical parameters and microvascular complication risk assessments were performed at every visit.

Conditions
Interventions
low-intensity physical activity
The exercise intervention consists of low-intensity physical activity (brisk walking) lasting 30-60 minutes, performed five times weekly. Participants will maintain a workload corresponding to Training Zone 2 over the course of the one-year follow-up.
Intensive insulin therapy
The patients with diabetes type 1 in Control group will be physical active (low-intensity physical activity) less than five days per week (not exceeding 30 minutes per activity).
