Key result
Moderate intensity aerobic dance exercise significantly increased heart rate after 30 minutes (P=0.004) without precipitating adverse acute cardiorespiratory responses in uncomplicated pregnancies.
Why the study?
The study was designed to evaluate the acute heart rate response of pregnant women to aerobic dance exercise.
Does a single session of moderate-intensity aerobic dance exercise affect acute maternal heart rate in pregnant women with no complications?
Does a single session of moderate-intensity aerobic dance exercise affect acute maternal heart rate in pregnant women with no complications?
Moderate intensity aerobic dance exercise causes a transient, physiological increase in maternal heart rate that normalizes within 30 minutes of rest, suggesting it does not precipitate adverse acute cardiorespiratory responses in uncomplicated pregnancies.
May support acute safety of moderate exercise in uncomplicated pregnancy; hypothesis-generating, requiring RCTs before practice change.
This was a Pre-test/Post-test research designed to study the acute heart rate response of pregnant women to aerobic dance exercise. Twenty four (24) pregnant women with no complications participated in this study. HR increased significantly after 30 minutes exercise [7.292, P = 0.004 (P 0.05)]. Moderate intensity Aerobic Dance Exercise may not precipitate adverse acute cardiorespiratory response in pregnant women with no complications.

Daniel et al. (2021) studied Pregnancy (n=24). Aerobic dance exercise vs. Pre-exercise baseline was evaluated on Acute heart rate response (p=0.004). Moderate intensity aerobic dance exercise significantly increased heart rate after 30 minutes (P=0.004) without precipitating adverse acute cardiorespiratory responses in uncomplicated pregnancies.
