Physical Activity to Mitigate PreEclampsia Risk

Sponsor: East Carolina University

Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of aerobic (AE), resistance (RE), and combination (AERE) exercise throughout pregnancy on selected maternal and fetal/neonatal physiological variables in women at-risk for preeclampsia. The central hypothesis of this project is that exercise will decrease severity and occurrence of preeclampsia symptoms, thus improving maternal, pregnancy, and birth outcomes. Aim 1. Determine the influence of different exercise modes during pregnancy at risk of preeclampsia on maternal cardiometabolic health. Aim 2. Determine the most effective exercise mode in pregnancy at risk of preeclampsia on improving birth and infant health outcomes.
