“…9 In 2015, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) emphasized that even if not previously active, pregnancy is an ideal time to adopt lifestyle modifications because women should be seen by a health care provider more frequently than at any other time in their lives. 10 Regular physical exercise or activity promotes and maintains physical fitness, prevents co-morbidities, manages weight, and improves psychological wellbeing.…”

Results: There were no significant differences between groups with regard to the basic criteria. The exercise program decreased the incidence of preeclampsia (OR=0.120; p=0.037), postdate (OR=0.274; p=0.008), excessive weight gain (OR=0.220; p=0.000), and cesarean delivery (OR=0.519; p=0.007). Conclusion:Regular maternal walking throughout the pregnancy may be a preventive tool for preeclampsia, postdate pregnancy, excessive weight gain and may decrease the incidence of cesarean delivery in primigravidas.

BackgroundThere are limited data on the prevalence rate of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) among college students attending any Historically Black College and University (HBCU), which are mostly attended by young African Americans (AA). We report the prevalence and gender differences in the components of MetS in a sample population from an HBCU campus.MethodsThree hundred and seventy six (218 females and 158 males) first year college students (average age 19.8 years), attending Kentucky State University, Frankfort with no prior diagnosis of illness participated in the cross sectional study. Anthropometric screenings included measurement of height, weight, waist circumference and body mass index (BMI). The clinical screenings included measurement of blood pressure and determination of fasting lipid and glucose concentrations. The National Cholesterol Education Program’s Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III) and International Diabetes Federation (IDF) definitions for MetS were applied. Statistics: Analysis of variance (ANOVA) scores on the Means procedure were used to examine differences between genders for all anthropometric, clinical and biochemical parameters. Fisher’s exact chi-square tests were used to analyze the prevalence of MetS criteria per gender, the number of MetS criteria per BMI category and the prevalence of MetS criteria. Significance was set at p ≤ 0.05 for all tests.ResultsPrevalence rates for MetS criteria varied depending on the definition used. According to the NCEP ATP definition, 31.4% of the sample population had at least 1 criterion for MetS, while 20.7% had 2 criteria. When IDF definition was applied, 21.3% sample population had 1 criterion and 17.5% had at least two criteria. Prevalence was highest for low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (37.3%) and elevated fasting glucose (22.1%). On the basis of the NCEP ATP and IDF definitions, overall prevalence of MetS in the total sample was 12%, and 9.3% respectively.ConclusionsHBCUs offer a unique opportunity to monitor and address the risk factors of MetS in a predominantly young AA population. There is a higher prevalence of MetS in this study population than any other reports on college students.

Type 1 diabetes is fatal unless treated with insulin. Exercise interventions have been shown to be as efficient as the pharmaceutical agents to improve glycaemic control. The aim of the current study was to determine the effect of aerobic exercise on possible mechanisms controlling insulin resistance. Forty diabetic type 1 patients of both sexes (20 females and 20 males) were participated in the study. They were randomly divided into two equal groups. Study group comprised of 20 patients participated in a supervised moderate-intensity aerobic exercise program performed on bicycle ergometer for 50 minutes, 3 times per week, for 8 weeks, in addition to their medical treatment while the control group received only their medical treatment. The result showed that a significant decrease in insulin resistance in the Study group as compared to the control group. The mean values of adiponectin were significantly increased from 5.85±0.65 to 6.6±0.56 in the study group. The mean values of Malondialdehyde (MDA) and fasting glucose were significantly decreased from 7.2±0.98, 146.88±11.42 to 6.45±0.95, 133.87±11.99 respectively in the study group. It can be concluded that aerobic exercise has a positive effect on decreasing insulin resistance and hence decrease the incidence of diabetic complications.
