Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Exercise group

The physical conditioning program included a total of three 55-60 minute sessions per week. Pregnant women started in 9-12 weeks and finished in 38-40 weeks, therefore, an average of 85 training sessions were planned for each participant. All subjects wore a heart rate (HR) monitor (Polar FT7, Finland) during the training sessions to ensure that the exercise intensity was light to moderate. Each session included a 25-minutes of aerobic exercise, 10-minutes of strength exercise and balance exercise as well, and 10-minutes of pelvic floor muscles training.
