Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Children and young adults aged between 12 to 18 with Type 1 diabetes will be recruited from our existing services at The Tweed Hospital, Tweed Community Health, Murwillumbah Community Health, Byron Central Hospital and Byron Community Health.
The exercise intervention will be supervised by qualified exercise physiologists and exercise physiology students. The mode of administration will be determined by the number of recruits, however, is likely to be one to one.
Examples of these exercises are as follows:
1. a sequence of motions for circuit exercise program 1: (1) Twist spine, (2) Hand walking, (3) Rolling squat, (4) Cross knee-up, (5) Jumping & walking, (6) Level-up pacer.
2. sequence of motions for circuit exercise program 2: (1) 8 drill, (2) Star drill, (3) Zig-zag hopping, (4) Side step, (5) Ladder exercise, (6) Hurdle exercise.
3. sequence of motions for circuit exercise program 3: (1) Hand walking, (2) Back extension, (3) Heart fit exercise, (4) Cross hopping, (5) Kick & lunge, (6) Jumping lunge.

The exercise intervention will be the completion of a circuit-based exercise program which is based upon the work by Han and Colleagues (Han, Lee & Shin 2021) designed for adolescents. As participants will have varying levels of fitness, the specialist exercise physiologists will tailor the program based upon the participant’s initial testing, including a cardiorespiratory fitness assessment. The exercise intervention progression plan is based upon 12 weeks, however for participants whose fitness is higher than the expected starting level they will progress to the next “week” (i.e., higher dose of aerobic exercise). Each participant will utilize heart rate monitors, supplied by SCU, which display their real-time exercise heart rate (colour coded to exercise intensity) on a large TV screen in the exercise training facility to allow for continual adjustments in exercise intensity therefore allowing the participant to maintain their prescribed exercise training zone and to ensure their safety. The level of intensity will be moderate to vigorous and will be assessed use the Borg RPE. The duration of the exercise sessions will be for 45 minutes (10 minutes to complete safety checks, and attendance checklist and then 30 minutes exercise and then 5 minutes to complete safety check at the end of the intervention.

Lifestyle
Comparator / control treatment
This study is using a pre/post intervention
Comparator - usual management
Control - exercise trial with the use of continuous glucose monitoring sensors (CGMS)
This study is using a pre/post intervention, retrospective continuous glucose monitoring sensors (CGMS) data will be collected for the 3 months prior to the intervention. During the pre-intervention period participants will continue with their usual care which may or may not involve an exercise schedule.
