The Preventive Effect of Physical Activity on Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Korean Longitudinal Prospective Cohort Study
These findings suggest that physical activity, such as muscle-strengthening activities before pregnancy, could be a preventive strategy to reduce GDM risk. Although the study does not provide evidence that physical activity during pregnancy and postpartum reduces GDM risk, it offers significant insights into the importance of maintaining a healthy level of physical activity from pre-pregnancy to prevent GDM.
