Influence of Exercise Mode on Maternal, Fetal, and Neonatal Health Outcomes : The ENHANCED by Mom Project
(East Carolina University, 2014)The extent of the health benefits of exercise during pregnancy is just beginning to be explored and developed. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of aerobic and circuit training throughout pregnancy on ... -
Influence of Gestational Exercise on One-Month Infant Resting Autonomic and Cardiac Control
(East Carolina University, 2022-09-29)Abstract Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of exercise type during pregnancy on an infant's cardiac and autonomic nervous systems at one month of age. This research is essential because of ... -
Influence Of Maternal Training Modes On Offspring Heart Outcomes
(East Carolina University, 2015)Background: Regular exercise during pregnancy provides many maternal and fetal health benefits. Heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) are good indicators of heart health. Maternal exercise improves fetal HR and ... -
Influence of Pre-pregnancy and During Pregnancy Exercise On Infant Heart Outcomes
(East Carolina University, 2017-06-27)Maternal exercise during pregnancy is quickly becoming a new norm that has been shown to have benefits for fetal and infant development. Most studies examining the influence of exercise during pregnancy on infant outcomes ... -
