High-intensity exercise for women after gestational diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether high-intensity interval training (HIIT)—short bursts of intense exercise—can help women who had gestational diabetes during pregnancy stay healthy and prevent type 2 diabetes. You'll do supervised workouts over several months while researchers track your health.
