Effects of Progressive Resistance Training on Physical State Energy and Fatigue During Pregnancy.

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.

About this study

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.

Primary outcomes

  1. Short Form Health survey (SF-36)

    Time frame: 9 WEEKS

    Eight dimensions of health-related quality of life are measured using the 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). 36 items make up the questionnaire, which assesses physical functioning, role restrictions brought on by physical health, physiological discomfort, overall health status, vitality, social functioning, role limitations brought on by emotional issues, and mental health. A substantial body of research supports the reliability of the SF-36 measurements

  2. Numeric Pain Rating Scale(NPRS)

    Time frame: 9 WEEKS

    The patient's level of pain is recorded by the NPRS (intensity of pain). Patients are asked to rate their current degree of pain on an 11-point scale with 0-3 representing mild pain, 4-6 representing moderate pain, and 7- 10 representing severe pain (Severe pain). Horizontal bars or lines are the standard format.

  3. Visual Analogue Scale-Fatigue(VAS-F)

    Time frame: 9 WEEKS

    The scale has 18 components that are all related to one's perception of exhaustion. Each question asks respondents to place a "X" along a visual analogue line that runs between two extremes, such as "not at all fatigued" and "very tired," to indicate how they are feeling right now. Scores range from 0 to 100 due to the length of each line being 100 mm. Moreover, the instrument has two subscales: weariness (items 1-5, 11- 18), and energy (items 6-10)
