Effect of Maternal Exercise on Offspring Skeletal Muscle Insulin Sensitivity and Lipid Handling Grant uri icon

abstract

  • We will determine if exercise during pregnancy can improve babies' skeletal muscle. It is well-documented that exercise during pregnancy is safe for both the mother and baby. Therefore, we will determine if mothers' exercise results in their babies having better muscle. The results of this research will help expectant mothers find ways to improve the health of their babies even before they are born.
