A Pilot Study Validating Select Research-Grade and Consumer-BasedWearables Throughout a Range of Dynamic Exercise Intensities in Persons With andWithout Type 1 Diabetes: A Novel Approach

摘要

Background:The increasing popularity of wearable technology necessitates the evaluation of their accuracy to differentiate physical activity (PA) intensities. These devices may play an integral role in customizing PA interventions for primary prevention and secondary management of chronic diseases. For example, in persons with type 1 diabetes (T1D), PA greatly affects glucose concentrations depending on the intensity, mode (ie, aerobic, anaerobic, mixed), and duration. This variability in glucose responses underscores the importance of implementing dependable wearable technology in emerging avenues such as artificial pancreas systems.
