MAMA Tot - Healthy Weight Parallel Study for Pregnant Women
This study is looking at how different types of exercise during pregnancy affect the health of both mothers and their babies. Researchers want to see if moderate intensity aerobic exercise, resistance exercise, or a combination of both can improve heart and metabolic health in infants. You might be able to join if you are a woman between 18 and 40 years old, have a healthy body mass index (BMI between 18.5 and 24.4), are pregnant with one baby (16 weeks gestation or less), and your doctor says exercise is okay. The main goal is to measure infant non-HDL cholesterol (a type of fat in the blood) at 1, 6, and 12 months after birth to see which exercise type has the biggest impact. The study plans to enroll 268 healthy pregnant women.
