The Effect of Exercise on Metabolic Parameters, Anthropometric Measurement Values and Quality of Life

This study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of exercise with Augmented Reality Glasses (AR) on metabolic parameters, anthropometric measurement values and quality of life in children with T1DM aged 10-12 years. The research will be carried out with children aged 10-12 with T1DM who are followed up in Erciyes University Health Application and Research Center Fevzi Mercan-Mustafa Eraslan Children's Hospital Pediatric Endocrinology Outpatient Clinic. A total of 30 (AR exercise group=15 and control group=15) children with T1DM between the ages of 10-12 will be included in the sample of the study, according to the sampling calculation. The data of the study, Descriptive Characteristics Form for Children with T1DM and Their Families, Serum and Urine Biochemistry Values Form, Anthropometric Measurement Values Form, Quality of Life Scale for Children with Diabetes Mellitus Child and Parent Form (PedsQL 3.0), Augmented Reality Glasses, Continuous Glucose Tracker, Blood Glucose Meter, Body Composition Analyzer, Caliper, Tape Measure and Digital Height and Weight Meter. Ethics committee approval from "Erciyes University Clinical Research Ethics Committee" and institutional permission from "ERU Health Application and Research Center Mustafa Eraslan Fevzi Mercan Children's Hospital" were obtained in order to conduct the study. Hypothesis tests, correlation and regression analyzes will be applied according to the suitability of the data for normal distribution. As a result of the study; Exercise practice with augmented reality glasses is expected to improve metabolic parameters and anthropometric measurement values and increase the quality of life in children with T1DM.The main question it aims to answer are:Exercise with augmented reality glasses in children with T1DM;It has an effect on metabolic parameters.It has an effect on anthropometric measurement values.It has an effect on the scores of the Quality of Life in Children with Diabetes Mellitus Scale-Child and Parent Form (PedsQL 3.0).
