Priming Exercise in Type 1 Diabetes (PET1D)

February 28, 2019 updated by: Liverpool Hope University

The Effects of Prior Exercise on Pulmonary Oxygen Uptake Kinetics and the Power-Duration Relationship in Type 1 Diabetes

Critical power is an important threshold in exercise physiology, and is an important determinant of the ability to tolerate high-intensity exercise. The ability to tolerate such exercise is drastically impaired in certain chronic conditions, such as type 1 diabetes. Whilst the most important physiological factors that determine critical power have yet to be determined, previous work from our laboratory suggests that it is related to the speed of oxygen uptake at the onset of exercise. This study will look to utilise "priming" exercise as an intervention to improve the speed of these oxygen uptake "kinetics", and thus critical power and exercise tolerance in individuals with type 1 diabetes. We hypothesize that oxygen uptake kinetics will be faster and critical power will be higher when exercise is performed with compared to without a prior bout of high-intensity priming exercise in a population of individuals with type 1 diabetes.

Detailed Description

The ability to tolerate high-intensity exercise, or exercise tolerance, is a key factor that can influence clinical outcomes in a range of conditions. The "critical power" is an important physiological threshold that demarcates exercise intensities that can be sustained for prolonged periods (i.e. below critical power) from intensities that result in exhaustion in a relatively short period of time (i.e. 2-30 minutes, above critical power). Critical power is therefore a key determinant of exercise tolerance. The speed with which oxygen uptake rises at the onset of exercise (i.e. oxygen uptake "kinetics") has been shown by work from our laboratory to be a key determinant of critical power. One intervention that can acutely improve the oxygen uptake kinetics is the performance of a prior bout of high-intensity exercise, known as "priming exercise". Patients with type 1 diabetes have previously been shown to have impaired exercise tolerance compared to healthy controls. The performance of priming exercise therefore represents a potential intervention to acutely improve oxygen uptake kinetics, and therefore critical power and exercise tolerance, in type 1 diabetic individuals. The purpose of this study is therefore to assess the influence of priming exercise on oxygen uptake kinetics and critical power in a population of type 1 diabetic individuals.

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.

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: Priming Exercise
Participants will perform constant power output tests at four separate, fixed intensities to exhaustion on a cycle ergometer on separate days. These exhaustive, constant power tests will be preceded by 3 minutes of light cycling, 6 minutes of high intensity cycling, 7 minutes of rest and 3 minutes of light cycling.
Behavioral: Priming exercise
All participants will perform a bout of high-intensity "priming" exercise for 6 minutes, 10 minutes prior to undertaking an exhaustive exercise test on four separate occasions.
Active Comparator: Control
Participants will perform constant power output tests at four separate, fixed intensities to exhaustion on a cycle ergometer on separate days. These exhaustive, constant power tests will be preceded by 3 minutes of light cycling only.
Behavioral: Control Exercise
All participants will perform 3 minutes of baseline cycling prior to undertaking an exhaustive exercise test on four separate occasions.

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.
