Therapeutic Effects of Plyometric Exercises in Children With Type 1 Diabetis

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Despite the benefits of physical rehabilitation among adults and children with chronic illness such as Diabetes mellitus avoid engaging in different physical activities especially pediatric population. Most of the children with type 1 Diabetes mellitus receive their medical treatment and follow-up with no change of their functional performance.

Detailed Description
-----------------
We still lack the evidence of plyometric exercises in pediatric population with Diabetes mellitus . Therefore, the primary aim of this study is to explore the effects of plyometric exercises on blood glucose level, balance and muscle strength in children with 1 Diabetes mellitus
