The present study is a prospective follow-up of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) that was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Peking University First Hospital, from December 2014 to April 2017. In this RCT, 300 obese/overweight pregnant women (prepregnancy BMI ≥24 kg/m²) at \<12+6 weeks of gestation were randomized to exercise (n=150) and control groups (n=150), and the efficacy of regular exercise in early pregnancy to prevent GDM among overweight/obese pregnant Chinese women was investigated. The patients allocated to the exercise group were assigned to a cycling program (3 times per week, at least 30 min/session, rating of perceived exertion 12-14); the program was initiated within 3 days of randomization and continued until 37 weeks of gestation. The patients in the control group maintained their usual daily activities. The original RCT has been reported previously （Wang, C.Am. J. Obstet. Gynecol. 2017, 216 (4), 340-351.)
