Metabolic adaptation
Resistance training significantly reduced glycemic levels in pregnant women from 122 ± 8.5 mg/dl to 105 ± 7.2 mg/dl (p=0.012).
Incorporating resistance training into prenatal care may help manage glycemic levels in pregnant women.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
A significant difference between CG and IG was observed on glycemic levels during the last 3 months of intervention (122 ± 8.5 to 105 ± 7.2 mg/dl p=0.012).
Why this rating
Based on the randomized controlled trial design.
