PhD thesis Title: Effects of physical activity during pregnancy on health of mother and child - a PhD project based on results from the FitMum randomized controlled trial

\n

Summary:

\nPhysical activity during pregnancy can improve health of mother and offspring, but it is unclear which exercise approaches are most efficient and which underlying mechanisms are involved in the exercise-induced improvements of maternal and offspring health. The main objective of this PhD project was to investigate the effects of two different physical activity interventions during pregnancy; structured supervised exercise training versus motivational counselling on physical activity, on clinical health outcomes in healthy inactive pregnant women and their offspring compared to standard care, and to explore possible underlying mechanisms for improved offspring health.
\n
\nPresenting data from the FitMum randomized controlled trial conducted at Nordsjællands Hospital, Hillerød, this PhD project showed no effect of any of the two interventions on gestational weight gain and obstetric and neonatal outcomes compared to standard care. The interventions did not elicit major metabolite or lipid changes in human breast milk, but changed some metabolites and lipids compared to standard care.
\n
\nCollectively, this PhD project provides a greater insight into how different physical activity approaches during pregnancy affect maternal and offspring health, as well as into possible maternally exercise-induced adaptations involved in improvements in offspring health. \n
