Influence of Aerobic Exercise and HIIT on Glycemic Control in Adult Men With Type 1 Diabetes (TAILOR/1b)

Physical exercise is one of the main recommendations included in clinical guidelines for
 people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) because it is associated with substantially lower
 cardiovascular and overall mortality risks. Adherence to regular physical activity is low in
 the T1D population due to factors like time limitations, no access to appropriate equipment
 at home, or economic costs. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) has been proposed as a
 time-efficient methodology, consisting of sessions of short duration and high intensity
 exercises. An easier and cheaper training alternative for HIIT is exercising with elastic
 bands, either in a clinic or at home. Even so, training with elastic bands in T1D in
 combination with the HIIT method has not been compared to aerobic training. Besides, it is
 necessary to understand the glycemic impact of both kinds of exercise in order to build
 better artificial pancreas systems able to deal with exercise automatically. The aim of the
 study will be to determine the impact of aerobic exercise versus high-intensity interval
 training (HIIT) exercise on glycemic control.
