Brief summary

Beneficial effects of moderate- to high- injtensity resistance exercise have been reported in Type 2 diabetes but there is little information available regarding the effects of resistance exercise in Type 1 diabetes. Therefore the purpose of this study is to examine the effects of an acute bout of moderate- to high- intensity resistance exercise on 48-hour blood glucose profiles in Type 1 diabetes using continuous glucose monitoring.

Interventions

Blood glucose is measured continuously during two 3-day periods. During one of these 3-day periods, a 1 hour resistance exercise session is performed consisting of the following exercises: Bench Press, Leg Extensions, Upright Row, Lateral Pull-downs, Dumbbell Flys, squats and abdominal crunches. During the other 3-day period no exercise is performed. Each participant acts as their own control and completes both 3-day periods with a minimum of 3 days washout in between.
