Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate oxygen consumption (VO2) and heart rate (HR) response in competitive youth athletes without (ND) and with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) during a simulated hockey game (SHG). There were no significant differences in the nadir, mean, peak %VO2max and %HRmax values across the 3 periods of the SHG between T1D and ND (n=13) (p>0.05). Significant differences (p<0.05) for the within T1D and ND group analysis are attributed to self-selected pacing during the play shifts and active recovery components of the SHG. It is concluded that athletic adolescents with T1D achieve similar VO2max and HRmax values plus exhibit similar VO2 and HR responses during a SHG when compared to matched ND. Therefore adolescents with uncomplicated T1D can participate in sports; exercise and non-exercise physical activity at the same level as their ND counterparts, and not be limited by diabetes.
