Official Title: Acute Effects of an Aquatic Physical Exercise on Glycemic Control of Gestational Diabetes
Brief Summary: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is increasing worldwide and has been associated with adverse perinatal outcomes and high risk for chronic disease both for the mother and for the child. Physical exercise is feasible to diabetic pregnant women and contributes to a better glycemic control and to decrease adverse perinatal outcomes. However there are no studies assessing the effects of aquatic physical exercise on GDM control.
