Abstract
Aim: Physical exercise is part of the type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) treatment. However, this practice is still neglected due to the wide variety of glycemic responses under the influence of anaerobic exercise. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the influence of anaerobic exercise on biomarkers of T1DM.
Methods: The systematic review was conducted on PubMed, Lilacs, and Embase, according to PRISMA. For this purpose, three groups of descriptors were used: Adults with T1DM, anaerobic physical exercise, and glycemic control. The search filter was set to human beings older than 18 years of age, longitudinal and cross-sectional studies, with studies published from 2000 to 2023 in English, Spanish, or Portuguese. Titles and abstracts were read independently by two reviewers, and then the articles were selected for this review. The Kappa coefficient was measured to evaluate the selection.
Results: A total of 738 articles were identified, and five were selected to be part of the review after applying the steps of the procedure. Some benefits were observed in fatigue reduction, absence of diabetic ketoacidosis requiring hospitalization, and enhancement of glucose monitoring during exercise. In the anaerobic workouts of the groups with T1DM, glycemic mean values ranged from 124.5-185.0 mg/dl, and glycated hemoglobin records ranged from 6.7-8.1%.
Conclusion: Anaerobic exercise improved the biomarkers of T1DM, especially glycemic control, and the reduction of symptomatic hypoglycemic episodes. Anaerobic exercise can be performed by individuals with T1DM, suggesting an individualized training prescription and encouraging its practice associated with aerobic exercise.
Keywords: Glycemic control, diabetes mellitus type 1, exercise, glucose monitoring, glycated hemoglobin, skeletal muscle.

Oxidative and inflammatory responses in the development of secondary diabetic complications
Diabetes, along with its associated secondary complications, represents a significant global health challenge, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality. Unhealthy lifestyle habits, reduced physical activity, environmental pollutants, and stress are pivotal factors in the onset of diabetes, particularly type-2 diabetes. Poorly managed hyperglycemia can lead to various complications, including neuropathy, ...read more
