What this Trial Is About
This research aims to evaluate the effect of regular resistance exercise during early pregnancy to prevent gestational diabetes in overweight or obese pregnant women. The study addresses the rising rates of obesity and gestational diabetes, which increase risks for both mother and baby, including complications such as high blood pressure, preterm birth, and cesarean delivery. The trial explores whether resistance exercise can help reduce these risks and improve pregnancy outcomes. Participants in the study are divided into two groups: one group will engage in resistance exercise three times a week, each session lasting 30 minutes including a 15-minute warm-up. The exercise involves muscle contractions against resistance using light weights, elastic bands, or body weight. These sessions are provided online with instructional videos and recommendations. The control group will receive standard care and usual recommendations without the exercise intervention. During the study, researchers will monitor participants from early pregnancy through the third trimester and birth. They will measure the occurrence of gestational diabetes between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy, track weight gain, and assess maternal and fetal outcomes at birth. The study will include questionnaires and follow-ups to evaluate the impact of exercise and gather safety and adherence information. Participation will last throughout pregnancy until delivery.
