Summary

Assessing the role of moderate exercise in newborn intrapartum variables have showed to be crucial not only on prescribing exercise safely, but also on understanding its impact on the prevention of some cardio-metabolic diseases after labor. Clarify this concept will be essential on reducing human risk for some chronic diseases through implementing supervised exercise programs during such a critical period.

Conditions

  • Pregnancy

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Exercise pregnant women

A supervised physical conditioning program of three 55-60 minute sessions per week during whole pregnancy (from week 10 to 39) was conducted. Each session consisted of 25-30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise,10 minutes of specific exercises (strength and balance exercises), and 10 minutes of pelvic floor muscles training. Aerobic activity was prescribed at light to moderate intensity, aiming for 55-60 of maximal heart rate. All subjects wore a heart rate (HR) monitor during the training sessions to control the intensity.
