Abstract

Background: This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to consolidate the fragmented evidence on the efficacy and safety of resistance training in adults with Type 1 Diabetes. By evaluating benefits and potential harms, it seeks to inform evidence-based clinical decisions and exercise recommendations for improved management of T1D. Methods: Following Cochrane guidelines, we will systematically search databases with key terms, using Zotero for reference management, and to identify relevant studies, remove duplicates and retracted articles, and screen for eligibility based on predefined criteria. Full-text assessments will further refine the selection, with data extraction. Statistical analysis will be conducted using Excel for data organization and R for meta-analysis, including effect size calculation and heterogeneity assessment with 'Metafor' and related packages. Sensitivity analyses and the GRADE framework will evaluate the robustness of findings and evidence certainty, considering biases and inconsistencies. The process aims to ensure a transparent, rigorous synthesis of evidence on the topic. Results: Data collection is currently underway, with data processing and analysis starting in mid-march, followed by presentation of tentative results by early April.
