Impact of Exercise Prescription on Obstetric and Neonatal Outcomes
Sponsor: Unidade Local de Saúde de Coimbra, EPE
Summary
The aim of this study is to assess the impact of structured physical activity with smartwatch remote monitoring on glycemic control, blood pressure control, obstetric complications and neonatal outcomes in women with GDM, chronic hypertension and obesity. A prospective, longitudinal, single-arm intervention study with 310 pregnant women was conducted over a period of 18 months. Participants received individualized exercise prescriptions based on international guidelines, complemented by smartwatch monitoring and regular telephonic feedback. Outcomes were compared between subgroups of women who adhere to the recommended exercise guidelines and those who did not, across three high-risk populations (GDM, chronic hypertension and obesity).
