Physical activity interventions in children and young people with Type 1 diabetes mellitus: a systematic review with meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

To synthesize evidence from randomized and non-randomized studies of physical activity interventions in children and young people with Type 1 diabetes so as to explore clinically relevant health outcomes and inform the promotion of physical activity.

Method

We conducted a search of CINAHL Plus, the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, SCOPUS, SportDiscus and Web of Science between October and December 2012. Eligible articles included subjects aged ≤18 years with Type 1 diabetes and a physical activity intervention that was more than a one-off activity session. Physiological, psychological, behavioural or social outcomes were those of interest.

Results

A total of 26 articles (10 randomized and 16 non-randomized studies), published in the period 1964-2012,
