In the ENHANCED by Mom study authors aim to
determine the effects of different modes of exercise training (aerobic,
circuit, and resistance) throughout pregnancy on childhood health by
controlling individual exercise programs and assessing the effects of each on
fetal and neonatal health adaptations. A better understanding on the effects of
exercise training during pregnancy on fetal and neonatal health could have a
profound impact on the prevention and development of chronic diseases such as
obesity, hypertension, and diabetes.
ENHANCED by mom is a cross sectional comparison
study utilizing 3 intervention groups in comparison to a control group.
Participants will complete three 5 min
warmup + 45 min sessions weekly from 16 weeks to 36 weeks gestation of aerobic,
resistance, or circuit training, in comparison to non–exercising controls.
Maternal physical measurements will occur
every 4 weeks throughout the intervention period.
Fetal morphometric and heart measurements
will occur at 34 weeks gestation.
Neonatal measurements will be acquired at
birth and at 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months.
