Article Synopsis
  • Virtual exercise programs became popular during COVID-19 to keep at-risk groups, like those with type-2 diabetes (T2DM), safe, but research on their effectiveness compared to in-person programs is limited.* -
  • A 12-week study analyzed the effects of tele-exercise on blood glucose levels in T2DM participants, finding that both teletraining and in-person exercise produced similar results over time.* -
  • While the in-person group had slightly better blood glucose improvements, both exercise formats demonstrated clinically relevant benefits, suggesting that home-based teletraining can effectively manage glycemia in people with T2DM.*

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare the effects of moderate intensity continuous exercise (MICE) and moderate intensity interval exercise (MIIE) on factors like blood vessel function, blood pressure changes after exercising, and blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes and hypertension.
  • Twelve participants engaged in a cross-over exercise study where they did either MICE, MIIE, or rested quietly, ensuring equal calorie intake.
  • Results showed that both MICE and MIIE improved blood vessel function and reduced blood sugar levels, but neither exercise method significantly impacted post-exercise blood pressure changes compared to restful control.*

We aimed to investigate sex-related glycemic and cardiovascular responses after intensity- (moderate) and duration- (30 minutes) matched interval aerobic exercise (IAE) and continuous (CAE) aerobic exercise sessions in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). A total of 19 volunteers (10 women) participated in 2 randomized and crossover sessions (1:1). Heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, double product, and blood glucose (BG) levels were measured before (PRE), immediately after (POST-0), and 20 minutes after (POST-20) each session.

Neurocritical patients (NCPs) in the intensive care unit (ICU) rapidly progress to respiratory and peripheral muscle dysfunctions, which significantly impact morbidity and death. Early mobilization in NCPs to decrease the incidence of ICU-acquired weakness has been showing rapid growth, although pertinent literature is still scarce. With this review, we summarize and discuss current concepts in early mobilization of critically ill patients within the context of neurologic pathology in NCPs.

Aims: The rating of perceived exertion (RPE) provides correlations with physiological measurements of exercise intensity, including metabolic equivalent (MET), oxygen consumption (V˙O), and heart rate (HR), in real (RS) and virtual (VS) sessions. To use RPE in patients with pathology, we aimed to examine the concurrent validity of RPE in type-1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) patients while exergaming.

Methods: Ten T1DM patients performed two 30-min crossover sessions of moderate-intensity exercise (washout 72-196 h).

Purpose: This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate sex-related glycemic, cardiovascular, and enjoyment responses after intensity-(moderate) and duration-(30 min) matched aerobic (AE) and strength exercises sessions (SE) in type 1 diabetic (T1DM) patients.

Methods: Twelve volunteers performed randomly three exercise sessions: AE, strength exercises A (SEA) and B (SEB). Heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, double product (DP) and capillary blood glucose (BG) levels were measured pre (PRE), immediately (POST-0) and 20 min (POST-20) after each exercise session.

Active videogames (AVGs) have been primarily studied in healthy individuals. To use the technology in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) patients, cardiovascular and enjoyment responses should be studied and compared with traditional exercises. To compare the effects of AVG and running exercises on cardiovascular and enjoyment responses in T1DM patients.
