Do you have type 1 diabetes? We are currently recruiting participants for an exercise intervention!!!

The study will include group fitness classes at FITOLOGY and a series of tests before, during and after the intervention.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how exercise could improve blood sugar control of adults and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. We will look at your blood sugars over two 6-week periods and take a hemoglobin A1c test at 6 points during the study. We will also complete brief strength tests and a BodPod body composition measurement. You will be compensated monetarily for your time during the tests and you will receive a one month membership for unlimited classes to FITOLOGY after the study ends.

To participate in this study, you must be a between the ages of 16 to 40 years of age and currently exercise less than 60 minutes per week with no strength training. In addition, the study will take place over a period of 16 weeks and therefore you must be in the State College area from January through May, although other arrangements can be made for spring break.

If you are interested in participating or have any questions, please contact Bailey Petersen (bap5161@psu.edu) for the details on the study informational sessions at FITOLOGY, 542 Westerly Parkway, State College, PA 16801.
