Summary

To investigate the blood oxygenation response to aerobic and breathing exercises in pregnant women. Participants and methods: A total of forty pregnant women participated in the study who were at the beginning of 3rd trimester. Their ages ranged from 25 to 30 years and their body mass index (BMI) was less than 30 kg/m2. They were assigned into two groups (A) performed aerobic exercises in a form of walking for 20-30 min. on treadmill at 60-75% of the target heart rate (THR) of each women, 3 times per week in addition to deep breathing exercises in form of diaphragmatic and lateral costal breathing, group (B) who performed deep breathing exercises only in form of diaphragmatic and lateral costal breathing. The program continued for 3 months, 3 times per week. The oxygen saturation (SaO2) was measured twice time firstly, at the beginning of 3rd trimester of pregnancy then after 3 months that at 24, 36 gestation weeks.
