Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Methods: A randomized controlled clinical trial with 78 pregnant women. Overweight or obese (BMI ≥ 26 kg / m²), gestational age between 14 and 24 weeks and from age 18 years were included. They will be divided into two random groups: one which will an exercise program under supervision and guidance received from home exercises (study group) and another that followed the standard routine prenatal care service (control group). Both groups will receive standardized nutritional counseling by the department of nutrition and dietetics and a questionnaire measuring quality of life WHOQOL-short at 14 - 24 weeks and at 36 weeks of pregnancy. The intervention results will be analyzed by intention to treat. A P value less than 0.05 will be used to determine statistical significance.

physical exercise
exercise on obese and overweight pregnant women, routine prenatal care and nutritional counseling
physical exercise
The exercise protocol was done under supervision once a week. Pregnant women have been told to do some exercise three more times during the week unsupervised and may be the protocol of exercises or walk in mild to moderate intensity.
The exercise protocol lasted 50 minutes with 10 minutes of stretching overall, 30 minutes of exercise for muscle strengthening and 10 minutes of relaxation.
These women also received nutrition counseling and prenatal care.
