Exercise training in pregnancy
Exercise Training in Pregnancy for overweight/obese women (the ETIP trial)
The aim of this project was to determine effects of exercise training in pregnancy among women with a pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) of 28 kg/m2 or more.
This was a randomised controlled trial where 91 participants were randomly allocated to an exercise group or a control group. The recruitment of participants to the ETIP trial ended in 2015. Some of the results from this trial are published (see below).
We are currently analysing the remaining data material from the ETIP trial. A follow-up data collection in the children born to the participating women is on-going.
