Physical activity and sitting study for pregnant women
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a physical activity program during pregnancy can help reduce sitting time and improve health for expecting mothers. You would be randomly placed in either the exercise program or your usual care, and your activity levels would be tracked.
