Exercise Helps Unborn Baby
Posted on Tue Aug 19, 2008Exercise Good For Baby
According to new research presented at the 121st annual meeting of the American Physiological Society, exercising while pregnant is not only good for the cardiovascular system of the mother but also for that of the developing fetus as well. Through a number of experiments, it was discovered that fetuses that are exposed to exercise while still in the womb have better heart rates, blood pressure and organ functions when compared to the fetuses of mothers who do not exercise. "When the mom exercises during pregnancy, the unborn baby gets the same type of training effect that you would see in an adult - so you see the lower heart rate and also improved heart rate variability, which is evidence of improvements in the nervous system of the heart." "Maternal exercise may be the earliest intervention to improve the heart of children and possibly the best," one doctor concluded.
