Hemodynamic Fetal Response to Maternal Isometric Exercise in Pregnant Patients with Diabetes

Background: Studies on physical activity during pregnancy and its impact mother fetus are still limited. International protocols consider only aerobic exercise fail to provide information about other modalities such as isometric exercise. Isometric promotes cardiorespiratory resistance muscle strengthening, but it is rarely tested pregnant women because increases maternal blood pressure can subsequently affect placental circulation. Objectives: To assess the fetal response by use of Doppler study in diabetes submitted Methods: A cross-sectional experimental was conducted 25 with gestational age between 26 36 weeks. The patients were handgrip, data collected from (blood pressure, heart rate velocimetry for uterine arteries) (heart rate, umbilical artery, middle cerebral artery ductus venosus). All variables before, after handgrip. Results: There a significant reduction pulsatilityindex (average values pre 0.77 ± 0.30, trans 0.65 0.22, post 0.75 p = 0.001), index 0.49 0.12, 0.44 0.10, 0.48 0.90, </span
