Physical Activity in Children With Type 1 Diabetes Study

July 20, 2015 updated by: University of Nottingham

The Feasibility of a Physical Activity Intervention for Children With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: Steps To Active Kids (STAK)

This study aims to test the feasibility of a physical activity intervention called the Steps To Active Kids (STAK) programme in children aged 9 - 11 years with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM).

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The STAK programme promotes physical activity in children who have a chronic condition, low levels of physical activity, are overweight or who lack confidence to take part in physical activity. The intervention involves an Activity Diary, circuit training, pedometer step counting, daily physical activity monitoring and goal setting to promote long-term increases in physical activity and its associated health benefits. This randomised single-centre feasibility study will test whether the STAK programme is feasible for children with T1DM, in terms of acceptability, attractiveness and compliance and a qualitative process evaluation will aid the assessment of feasibility.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

9 years to 11 years (Child)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

  • Be willing and able to comply with the study protocol
  • Be physically able to participate in physical activity
  • Have a parent/carer who provides informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Intervention group
Steps To Active Kids (STAK) programme (6 weeks) includes: StreetDance DVD designed to be completed at home (4 weeks in total). A dance routine is taught over 4 weeks with new elements introduced each day. Activity diary aims to encourage children to record daily activities in a logbook and to educate children about physical activity. Step counter: Children are given a pedometer and encouraged to record steps in the activity diary and to set personal goals to increase their steps. Weekly group activity sessions for 4 - 6 weeks. Involve a circuit of activity stations varying in intensity. The group sessions are designed to be fun and non-competitive. Children can record their scores at each station and monitor their own progress.
Behavioral: Steps To Active Kids (STAK) programme
Intervention described in Arm/Group Description.
No Intervention: Control group
Control group. Children in the Control group are asked to continue normal daily activities.

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures
