Why the study?
Studies on physical activity during pregnancy remain limited, with international protocols considering only aerobic exercise, and isometric exercise is rarely tested due to concerns about maternal blood pressure and placental circulation.
Does isometric handgrip exercise alter fetal hemodynamic responses in pregnant women with diabetes?
Does isometric handgrip exercise alter fetal hemodynamic responses in pregnant women with diabetes?
Isometric handgrip exercise in pregnant women with diabetes significantly reduces fetal pulsatility and resistance indices during the exercise.
Isometric exercise merits cautious exploration in low-risk pregnancy; leaves open fetal safety questions pending randomized trials.
