Metabolic adaptation
Fetal macrosomia incidence was significantly lower in the intervention group compared to the control group, from 13.19 ± 3.9 to 4.32 ± 1.2 (p=0.001).
Implementing resistance training may reduce the risk of macrosomia in newborns.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Fetal macrosomia incidence was significantly lower in IG compared to CG (4.32 ± 1.2 to 13.19 ± 3.9 p=0.001).
Why this rating
Based on the randomized controlled trial design.
