Association between Physical Activity and Sport Participation on Hemoglobin A1c Among Children and Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes.

Purpose: To determine associations between physical activity (PA) and sport participation on HbA1c levels in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Method: Pediatric patients with T1D were invited to complete a PA and sport participation survey. Data were linked to their medical records for demographic characteristics, diabetes treatment and monitoring plans, and HbA1c levels.

Exercise-based correlates to calcaneal osteogenesis produced by a chronic training intervention.

Thirty workouts on a gravity-independent device (Impulse Training Systems, Newnan GA) evoked significant calcaneal bone mineral content (BMC, +29%) and density (BMD, +33%) gains. High speeds and impact loads were produced per repetition. We examined exercise performance variables from the 30-workout intervention to identify correlates to delta (∆) calcaneal BMC and BMD variance.
