About

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of progressive resistance training on physical state energy and fatigue during pregnancy. This study was a randomized controlled trial used to find the effects of progressive resistance training on physical state energy and fatigue during pregnancy. The data was collected from Sheikh Zaid Hospital via Visual analogue scale-fatigue, Numeric pain rating scale and Short form health survey-36. Sample size of 30 females was taken in 15 each group.

Full description

According to the findings of a study on physical activity during pregnancy in 2021, obese women, who exercise less than ladies of normal body weight may gain from gradually increasing their amount of exercise to reduce the amount of weight gain associated with pregnancy. Exercise during pregnancy was consistently associated positively with sob-R among the women in both categories, which denotes that it may have an impact on the control of lepton activity and pregnancy-induced insulin resistance. Overall, our research suggests that obese women, who are lepton-resistant and at pregnant women at high risk of gestational diabetes, fast weight gain, and increased fetal adiposity should receive advice and supportive services to raise their activity level, with an emphasis on the fact that even slight improvements in action can be good for both child and maternal health.

28 participants in 2 patient groups

Warm up Exercise + stretching Exercise + progressive resistance exercises

Experimental group

Description:

* Group A (Experimental Group): * Warm up Exercise + stretching Exercise (upper and lower extremity) + progressive resistance exercises Warm up Exercise (for 5 min) Stretching (upper and lower extremity) 3. Progressive Resistance exercises: 1. Leg press :( dual leg press): Leg press target the "Quadriceps" or quads .but they also work your "Hamstrings". 2. Leg curls (dual leg curls): Leg curls Target the "hamstrings" and "Calf" muscles Leg Extension The Muscles worked: 1. Rectus femoris 2. Vastus lateralis 3. Vastus medialis 4. Vastus intermedius 4.
