Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) has become one of the most popular trends in the fitness sector. The effectiveness of HIIT on a number of health indicators has been proven in various populations but limited data are available on HIIT during pregnancy.
The first hypothesis is that the HIIT, implemented during pregnancy and after childbirth, as a stronger exercise stimulus, will have a better impact on selected biological and psychological parameters of mothers, as well as on selected health parameters of their children, compared to the MICT (moderate intensity continuous training). Therefore, it promises better preventive effects on pregnancy complications and ailments as well as non-communicable diseases occurring in these populations. In the second hypothesis, it was assumed that HIIT and MICT implemented during pregnancy and after childbirth, tailored to the specific needs of the perinatal period, will not differ in the effectiveness of maintaining normal functional parameters in women, including prevention of urinary incontinence, back pain, DRA, etc.
Pregnant women who apply for the study will be divided into three groups: those attending the HIIT, MICT or educational programs. During the study, the participants will be under standard obstetric care. As comparative groups, non-pregnant women will be also recruited.
The investigators will collect data on selected biological, functional and psychological parameters in the study women at each trimester of pregnancy, during the puerperium and one year after childbirth. The data from the medical documentation on the course of childbirth and the assessment of the new-born, as well as the results of preventive examinations in the study women's children aged one, two, four and six years will be also analyzed.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Pregnant HIIT group
The high intensity interval training (HIIT) program will be implemented according to the World Health Organization guidelines on physical activity and sedentary behavior (2020) and on the recommendations on physical activity and exercise during pregnancy and postpartum period published by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (2020). The program will be also based on the "High-Intensity Interval Training for Cardiometabolic Disease Prevention" report by American College of Sports Medicine (2019). During the study, the participant will be under standard obstetric care on her own. She is obliged to inform her obstetric care provider about participation in the HIIT program and to provide feedback to the project coordinator as to possible recommendations of the obstetric care provider regarding the exercise.
High intensity interval training program for pregnant women
Pregnant women will participate in 8-week HIIT cycles until the day of delivery, 3 times a week, in a volume of each session of 60 minutes. The main part (15-20 min) will be conducted in a form of high intensity intervals, approx. 85-90% of maximum exercise capacity. The intervals will consist of performing exercises for 30-60 seconds, alternating with a 30-60 second rest break, in the ratio of exercise time to rest 1:2, 1:1 or 2:1, according to the individual possibilities of the participant and taking into account the training progression and stage of pregnancy. The exercise intensity will be monitored with the use of heart rate monitors, the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) and the Talk Test.
After birth, women will participate in 3-month HIIT cycles from the moment of achieving postpartum readiness to training until one year postpartum. Classes will be carried out stationary or online, depending on the pandemic situation and the availability of the woman.
Pregnant MICT group
The moderate intensity continuous training (MICT) program will be implemented based on the World Health Organization guidelines on physical activity and sedentary behavior (2020) and on the recommendations on physical activity and exercise during pregnancy and postpartum period published by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (2020). During the study, the participant will be under standard obstetric care on her own. She is obliged to inform her obstetric care provider about participation in the MICT program and to provide feedback to the project coordinator as to possible recommendations of the obstetric care provider regarding the exercise.
Moderate intensity continuous training program for pregnant women
Pregnant women will participate in 8-week MICT cycles until the day of delivery, 3 times a week, in a volume of each session of 60 minutes. The main part (20-25 min) will be conducted in a form of moderate intensity continuous exercise, of 70-80% of the maximum exercise capacity, e.g. in the form of high- and low-impact aerobics choreography with music. The sessions will also include resistance, neuromotor, body posture and flexibility exercises (25 min), breathing exercises, relaxation and visualization of pregnancy or childbirth (10 min). The exercise intensity will be monitored with the use of heart rate monitors, the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) and the Talk Test.
After birth, women will participate in 3-month MICT cycles from the moment of achieving postpartum readiness to training until one year postpartum. Classes will be carried out stationary or online, depending on the pandemic situation and the availability of the woman.
Pregnant standard care group
During the study, the participant will be under standard obstetric care on her own. She is obliged to inform her obstetric care provider about participation in the HIIT Mama study and to provide feedback to the project coordinator as to possible contraindications to taking part in the study tests.
Standard obstetric care with extended education on healthy lifestyle
Pregnant women will get standard obstetric care according to the national law. They will attend educational sessions on a healthy lifestyle, physical activity in the perinatal period and selected aspects of pregnancy and motherhood. Educational classes will be conducted online in real time, at least once every two weeks, until one year postpartum.
Nonpregnant HIIT group
The high intensity interval training (HIIT) program will be implemented according to the World Health Organization guidelines on physical activity and sedentary behavior (2020) and on the "High-Intensity Interval Training for Cardiometabolic Disease Prevention" report by American College of Sports Medicine (2019).
During the study, the participant will be under standard health care on her own. She is obliged to inform her health care provider about participation in the HIIT Mama study and to provide feedback to the project coordinator as to possible contraindications to exercise or taking part in the study tests.
High intensity interval training program for nonpregnant women
Nonpregnant women will participate in 8-week HIIT cycles for a period of 8 months, 3 times a week, in a volume of each session of 60 minutes. The main part (15-20 min) will be conducted in a form of high intensity intervals, approx. 85-90% of maximum exercise capacity. The intervals will consist of performing exercises for 30-60 seconds, alternating with a 30-60 second rest break, in the ratio of exercise time to rest 1:2, 1:1 or 2:1, according to the individual possibilities of the participant and taking into account the training progression.
