A study published in JAMA Network Open found that cardiorespiratory fitness is lower in children with type 2 diabetes compared to those without diabetes. Researchers conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of 55 studies, which showed that children with type 2 diabetes had lower cardiorespiratory fitness levels compared to those without diabetes. Children with type 1 diabetes also had lower levels of cardiorespiratory fitness. Physical activity levels were lower in children with type 1 diabetes compared to those without diabetes. The researchers emphasized the need for interventions to increase physical activity and improve cardiorespiratory fitness in children with diabetes.
