Abstract

ObjectiveTo explore the influence of a supervised concurrent exercise-training program during pregnancy on maternal and neonatal birth-related outcomes and type of birth.MethodsOne hundred and fifty-nine Caucasian pregnant women from the GESTAFIT project participated in this quasi-experimental study...
