About the Author

My name is Axel de la Rosa and I'm a Kinesiology major here at UCF. My primary goal is to become a physical therapist, but I also am very interested in research, hence this project. I am also a Type 1 Diabetic, so you can say I have some skin in the game in regards to this project. I would like to thank my professor of exercise physiology Dr. Ethan Hill for introducing me to the research process and providing me with this opportunity, as well as encouraging creativity and making the class content very engaging. I would also like to the thank the TA for the class Sean Lubiak for providing me very useful feedback throughout the entire research process. They both helped make this very enjoyable.

Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement

The purpose of this study was to examine whether aerobic and resistance exercise elicit significantly different glucose responses in terms of glycemic control in type 1 diabetes by examining periodic trends in a period 24 hours post-exercise. Based on findings from previous investigations, it was hypothesized that RE would elicit more favorable glycemic responses and promote greater glycemic stability in comparison to AE. Additionally, the time in optimal glucose range 24 hours post-exercise would be greater post-RE than AE. Resistance training in this study was associated with increased TIR and overall glycemic stability relative to aerobic exercise and rest and may be associated with improved glycemic control in adults with T1D. It should also be noted that both resistance and aerobic exercise were correlated with improved glycemic control following exercise relative to sedentary activity, so while resistance exercise may be a viable method promoting overall glycemic control, exercise as a whole should be a component of the management plans of diabetics, regardless of method. Data from this investigation do provide enough justification for further research, particularly to examine the effect of resistance exercise on BGL in larger and more diverse samples as well as the utility of manipulating exercise time and mealtime consumption to promote glycemic control.
