Long-term insulin treatment can slow the growth process and decrease physical fitness level in children. In diabetic children, these two developments should be constantly monitored. The aim of the present study was to examine differences in somatic and physical fitness characteristics between soccer-training boys with type 1 diabetes and healthy boys of the same age (reference values based on Polish population norms for somatic and motor parameters). The participants were 94 boys (8-17 years), diagnosed with diabetes, who participated in soccer training on a regular basis and received routine medical care. The study involved (a) anthropometric and body composition measurements, (b) general motor ability assessments, and (c) comparison of those characteristics with the healthy Polish population. The diabetic boys were found to have lower levels of almost all somatic traits and motor abilities as compared with the healthy boys ( ≤ 0.05). Handgrip strength was a variable with the smallest difference between the two groups. The observed differences indicate the necessity to design an appropriate control and assessment system based on simple medical and fitness field tests for diabetic children and adolescents. It will allow optimizing advanced training as well as minimize health risks before, during, or after exercise.
长期胰岛素治疗会减缓儿童的生长过程并降低身体素质水平。在糖尿病患儿中，应持续监测这两个方面的发展情况。本研究的目的是检查患有 1 型糖尿病的足球训练男孩与同龄健康男孩（基于波兰人群的身体和运动参数的参考值）在身体和身体素质特征方面的差异。参与者是 94 名被诊断患有糖尿病的男孩（8-17 岁），他们定期参加足球训练并接受常规医疗护理。研究包括：（a）人体测量和身体成分测量，（b）一般运动能力评估，以及（c）将这些特征与健康的波兰人群进行比较。与健康男孩相比，糖尿病男孩几乎所有的身体特征和运动能力都较低（≤0.05）。握力是两组之间差异最小的变量。观察到的差异表明，有必要为糖尿病儿童和青少年设计一个基于简单的医学和健身现场测试的适当的控制和评估系统。这将有助于优化高级训练，并在运动前、运动中和运动后最小化健康风险。
