Weight loss and fitness after pregnancy in active-duty women
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how to support healthy weight loss and physical fitness after having a baby while you’re still on active duty. It may help by testing a structured approach to fitness and planning during the first 18 months after delivery.
