2021, Journal of Thermal BiologyCitation Excerpt :The resting rectal temperature decreased as pregnancy progressed, however, from early to late pregnancy, external work (kcal) increased resulting in similar end-exercise sweat production (Jones et al., 1985). A similar study (Clapp, 1991) that assessed thermoregulatory responses to weight bearing exercise (i.e., running) followed 18 physically active pregnant women, the authors ensured participants who maintained exercise equating to 64% VO2peak before conceptionon followed through to late pregnancy by setting the treadmill at a consistent speed/grade and prescribed this exercise intensity between pregnancy timepoints. The onset of sweating was measured subjectively, with participants indicating the moment at which they ‘felt’ sweating start and the associated core temperature was recorded at that time (i.e., thermo-sensitivity) (Clapp, 1991).
Exercise as a therapeutic intervention to optimize fetal weight
2018, Pharmacological ResearchCitation Excerpt :These data are supported by Hamilton et al. [113], who demonstrated that greater maternal insulin resistance later in pregnancy, independent of maternal glucose tolerance and parental BMI, was associated with increased infant weight gain and adiposity at one year of age. It has been demonstrated that acute and regular weight-bearing exercise decreases circulating glucose and insulin concentrations in healthy pregnant women [114,115]. Interventions that target a reduction in insulin resistance in the mother may be a mechanism to prevent excessive fat accumulation and/or body mass in the offspring.
