Physical Activity in Bed Rest Hospitalized High-Risk Pregnant Women.
Sponsor: Hospital Clinic of Barcelona
Summary
This study aims to evaluate the impact of a specifically designed exercise program for hospitalized high-risk pregnant individuals on bed rest. This is a specifically designed physical activiity program, consisting of a resistance and strength exercises intended to be performed even while in bed and seeks to address physical and emotional health challenges during hospitalization. The study will compare outcomes between participants who follow the exercise program and those receiving standard care. Primary outcomes include physical and emotional health parameters, quality of life, and sleep quality. Secondary outcomes focus on feasibility, adherence, and participant satisfaction. This research addresses the gap in physical activity guidelines for pregnant individuals on bed rest and explores the potential benefits of exercise to improve maternal well-being and postpartum recovery.

Exercise
Specifically designed and structured exercise program (based on resistance/strength, designed to be executed in bed or minimal mobility). It is an adaptation from the exercise program described by Brun CR et al (Brun CR, Shoemaker JK, Bocking A, Hammond JA, Poole M, Mottola MF. Bed-rest exercise, activity restriction, and high-risk pregnancies: a feasibility study. Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism. 2011;36(4):577-582).
