FitMum: Fitness for Good Health of Mother and Child
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Structured supervised exercise training and Motivational counseling supported by health technology for Pregnancy Related and Physical Activity. Completed, enrolled 220 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
A physically active lifestyle during pregnancy has potential to improve maternal and child health. However, less than four out of ten Danish pregnant women succeed to achieve 30 minutes of daily physical activity at moderate intensity as recommended by the Danish Health Authorities. This project investigates how to implement physical activity in pregnant women´s everyday life by testing the efficacy of two very different exercise programs on physical activity level during pregnancy.
