What's New

App-supported progressive resistance training was associated with greater lean mass and bone mineral content gains in youth with type 1 diabetes.

Detailed Summary

A 24-week RCT of 62 participants (aged 8-18) with type 1 diabetes compared mHealth app-guided resistance training to usual care. The exercise group demonstrated greater gains in lean mass (MD=0.88 kg; 95% CI 0.09-1.66) and whole-body bone mineral content (MD=32.40 g; 95% CI 6.90-57.89), along with lower risk of probable sarcopenia (RR=0.17), though no significant changes in fat mass were observed.

Study Population
