Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The main aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a supervised exercise program consisted of 25-30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise,10 minutes of specific exercises (strength and balance exercises), and 10 minutes of pelvis floor muscles training, on the prevention and treatment of depression in pregnant women. Additionally, the other purpose of the study was to analyze the effects of depression and physical exercise on outcomes.
Hypothesis: Pregnant women who do regular exercise during their pregnancies would have a better mood state than pregnant women who are sedentary, without having any negative effect on outcomes.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
* Affect cerebral development
* Increase the risk of preterm birth and low birth weight
* Increase the risk of childhood overweight problems
* Adverse impact on the cognitive, emotional, social, and behavioural development of infants
Due to the possible side effect of antidepressants on mother and fetus, its necessary to examine alternative solutions to this state.

Exercise group
Exercise program
Exercise group
Supervised physical conditioning program of three 55-60 minute sessions per week during whole pregnancy (from week 9 to 38). Each session consists 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 (Polar FT7) during the training sessions to ensure that exercise intensity was light to moderate.
