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 examine the effect of a supervised physical exercise program on the prevention of childhood obesity and its impact on the motor development of the offspring.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The environment where the fetus growths up is essential for the risk of developing some diseases in later life, such as obesity. Exercise has showed being useful in the prevention on excessive maternal weight gain which is linked to fetus weight.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

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 heart rate reserve. All subjects wore a heart rate (HR) monitor (Polar FT7) during the training sessions to ensure that exercise intensity was light to moderate
