Summary

Metabolic alterations during pregnancy have been associated with adverse maternal-fetal outcomes, including low birth weight and pregnancy complications. Maternal endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, insulin resistance, and placental mitochondrial dysfunction are thought to contribute to fetal metabolic disturbances. Lifestyle changes, such as structured exercise during pregnancy, may modulate maternal and placental factors.

This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effects of a multicomponent exercise program during the second and third trimester on maternal functional capacity, vascular health, anthropometry, metabolic biomarkers, placental function, and newborn health outcomes.
