The Efficacy of Home-based Resistance Exercise and Game-based Exercise Training on microRNA-21-5p Expression and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Biomarkers in Children with Type 1 Diabetes
Home-based resistance exercise and game-based training improve microRNA-21-5p and liver biomarkers in children with T1D, implying beneficial health effects.
Key Points
Increased microRNA-21-5p levels were observed in both exercise groups after the interventions, enhancing their potential as biomarkers.
Significant reductions were noted in liver enzymes alanine transaminase and aspartate aminotransferase, supporting improved liver function in participants.
Both exercise modalities showed positive effects on glycemic control, with reductions in HbA1c levels indicating better blood sugar management.
Cardiorespiratory fitness improved slightly post-intervention, while no significant differences were found between the two exercise groups.
