Foetal heart rate averaged 156 BPM, occasionally exceeding 160 BPM, suggesting monitored foetal stress during exercise.
Physically active participants exhibited lower pre-exercise maternal heart rate and greater foetal heart rate change during exercise compared to non-active participants.
Participants engaged in a progressive intensity resistance training session, monitored for cardiovascular responses relevant to maternal and foetal health.
The findings suggest that moderate-to-high intensity resistance exercise is generally well tolerated during pregnancy, highlighting the importance of monitoring.
