This project involves a two-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) designed to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a mobile application aimed at prescribing resistance training for children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (Diactive-1). The program will span 24 weeks, with a minimum weekly frequency of 3 sessions. The researchers aim to recruit 52 participants but will enroll additional participants to account for potential withdrawals and ensure compliance with the desired sample size. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the impact of the Diactive-1 mobile application on insulin requirements in children and adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes. Additionally, the researchers will investigate the effects of the Diactive-1 program on secondary parameters such as glycemic control, cardiometabolic indicators, physical fitness, and daily physical activity, among others. The hypothesis posits that personalized training through a mobile application, primarily focusing on muscular strength, will effectively reduce the daily insulin dosage in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes.
