Brief Summary: The main theme of this study focuses on providing evidence of the impact of antenatal physical activity on maternalfoetal cardiovascular changes during pregnancy and maternal cardiovascular adaptations during the early postpartum period
Detailed Description: Overwhelming research supports the general benefit of antenatal physical activity APA for pregnant women but there is a lack of knowledge about the influence of exercise on cardiovascular physiology in healthy and overweight pregnant women and their foetuses Also some research supports the theory of foetal programming which establish that maternal habits during pregnancy will impact in-utero environment so if this maternal habits are healthy ones they could improve foetal health

Cardio vascular disease CVD was the top cause of death all over the world in 2015 In Wales CVD as cause of death is still one of the top ones However these statistics could be improved if people adopt healthier lifestyle habits since 54 and 45 of Welsh women are overweightobese or sedentary respectively Pregnancy seems to be a teachable moment for women and the starting point of adopting healthy life-style habits Therefore by introducing Welsh pregnant women to exercise there is the potential to improve their health and of their foetuses an also exert an exponential impact on future generations

The main theme of this study focuses on providing evidence of the impact of APA on maternalfoetal cardiovascular changes during pregnancy and maternal cardiovascular adaptations during the early postpartum period

This is a 3-year study carried out in Swansea University Singleton Hospital

The project leading to this application has received funding from the European Unions Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No 663830

Healthy pregnant women with no contraindications for exercise will be eligible for the study and those who want to participate in the project will be allocated into an exercise group EG or a control group CG EG participants will receive an intervention based on an APA during 20-24weeks CG participants will follow their standard health care during pregnancy

All participants must attend three cardiovascular assessment protocols 18-22 weeks 32-36weeks during pregnancy 12weeks postpartum These protocols will involve maternalfoetal electrocardiograph and echocardiograph evaluation heart-rate monitoring and moderate physical exercise walking
