“…70% VO 2 max ) was not succesfull (Avery et al, 1997). Mottola et al (1998b) investigated low-risk pregnant women and showed that mild exercise (30% HRR) on a stationary bike was better at promoting glucose tolerance in response to an oral glucose load after exercise than moderate intensity exercise (70% HRR) in late gestational women. Biopsies of the vastus lateralis muscle in these late pregnant women showed that total GLUT4 (glucose transporters sensitive to insulin) was elevated in the mild exercise-trained women (starting at 16-20 weeks gestation until delivery) compared with moderately trained women (Mottola et al, 1998a).…”

Subsequently, when nutritional intake was controlled during pregnancy (to ~ 8350 kJ/day, with 200 g of carbohydrate/day), the combination of nutritional control and mild exercise (30% HRR on a stair climber) was better than mild exercise alone in controlling blood glucose concentrations and preventing excessive weight gain during pregnancy.…”

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a form of diabetes first diagnosed during pregnancy, usually between 24 and 28 weeks. Currently, management for women with GDM consists of medical nutrition therapy with adjunctive exercise for at least 30 minutes/day. Patients who fail to maintain glycemic goals through diet and exercise therapy are given insulin injections. Several epidemiological studies have suggested a robust link between physical activity and reduced risk of GDM; however, researchers have been unable to suggest a cost-effective, easily accessible, evidence-based program with guidelines for frequency, intensity, duration, and type of activity to prevent the incidence of GDM in sedentary, at-risk populations. True effectiveness of specific structured exercise programs remains untapped in GDM prevention and treatment, and many well-controlled exercise studies are warranted.
