As the COVID-19 vaccine may have a potential impact on an individual's lifestyle, we also considered this parameter.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Physical activity level, the exercise barriers (BAPAD1), anthropometric characteristics, the method of insulin administration, and the last glycated hemoglobin in % were completed by 102 Qatari adults with T1D. Moreover, all patients were asked whether they had \u201cbeen vaccinated\u201d or had a \u201cfear of being infected by COVID-19\u201d.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>For the unvaccinated group, weight, BMI and HbA1c (%) were significantly higher than those of vaccinated group (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.01) and engaged in less moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.01) per week and had less time in vigorous PA (VPA) (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.01). A significant association between VPA levels and BMI (\u03b2 = \u22120.36, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.02) and HbA1C (%) (\u03b2 = \u22120.22; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.03) was reported, and \u201cbeing vaccinated\u201d was significantly associated with MVPA (\u03b2 = 0.15; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.021) and VPA (\u03b2 = 0.28; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.032). A higher \u201cFear of being infected by COVID-19\u201d score was negatively correlated with reduced PA profiles (R2 = \u22120.71 for MVPA; R2 = \u22120.69 for VPA, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.01, respectively).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Practicing VPA during the COVID-19 pandemic confer many health benefits for Qatari individual with T1D.
