Article Synopsis
- About 10% of pregnancies experience hypertensive disorders, and previous research mostly focused on aerobic exercise's impact on maternal blood pressure, leaving a gap regarding other exercise types.
- The study aimed to analyze how different types of exercise (aerobic, resistance, and combination) affect maternal blood pressure during pregnancy compared to a non-exercise control group.
- Results showed no significant differences in maternal characteristics among groups, but certain exercises had varied effects on blood pressure measurements throughout pregnancy.
Objective: Assess the effects of supervised, prenatal aerobic exercise intervention on 1-month-old neonatal morphometry.
Methods: Secondary data analyses of a 24+ week, randomized controlled exercise intervention trial in pregnant women between 2015 and 2018 were performed. Eligibility criteria included pregnant women: <16 weeks of gestation, singleton pregnancy, aged 18-40 years, and body mass index of 18.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of supervised prenatal aerobic exercise on fetal morphometrics at 36 weeks of gestation.
Methods: This study used data from a, 24-week, two-arm randomized controlled trial: aerobic exercise (EX) and stretching/breathing comparison group (CON). Singleton pregnancies (< 16 weeks pregnant) and women aged 18 to 40 years, BMI between 18.
Background: Optimal maternal metabolism during pregnancy is essential for healthy fetal growth and development. Chronic exercise is shown to positively affect metabolism, predominantly demonstrated in nonpregnant populations.
Objective: To determine the effects of aerobic exercise on maternal metabolic biomarkers during pregnancy, with expected lower levels of glucose, insulin, and lipids among exercise-trained pregnant women.
Background: Previously, a study conducted by UNICEF found that malnutrition affects approximately 80% of the indigenous children in Guatemala.
Objective: Identify prevalence and risk factors for stunted growth in communities surrounding Lake Atitlán, Guatemala.
Methods: Height-for-age measurements of children under the age of five, N = 84, determined stunting prevalence and presumed burden of malnutrition in this region of the Guatemalan highlands.
The nutrient and caloric requirements for lactation are set by the Institute of Medicine. The dietary pattern to meet those needs is found in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Only deficiency states for selected nutrients and/or prolonged inadequate caloric intake appear to affect the volume and quality of breast milk.
