Why the study?
Are there differences in cardiovascular endurance, heart rate variability, exercise beliefs, and physical activity between adolescents with type 1 versus type 2 diabetes?
Population
132 adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (n=105) or type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=27)

Supports targeted fitness assessment in type 2 DM adolescents; leaves open whether differences predict events or respond to intervention.
Are there differences in cardiovascular endurance, heart rate variability, exercise beliefs, and physical activity between adolescents with type 1 versus type 2 diabetes?
Adolescents with type 2 diabetes exhibit poorer physical fitness and lower heart rate variability than those with type 1 diabetes, highlighting a vulnerable population for future cardiovascular disease.
Faulkner et al. (2005) studied this question.
