| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control Group | No Intervention | Pregnant women not participating in supervised physical exercise program. The subjects in this group will be monitored during pregnancy to know if they make any kind of exercise on your own, to know which are really sedentary pregnant women. | |
| Exercise Group | Experimental | Pregnant women participating in supervised physical exercise program. |

| Exercise Group | Behavioral | Supervised physical conditioning program of three 55-60 minute sessions per week during whole pregnancy (before week 16 to 38). Each session consists of 25-30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise,10 minutes of specific exercises (strength and balance exercises), and 10 minutes of pelvic floor muscles training. Aerobic activity was prescribed at light to moderate intensity, aiming for 55-60% of heart rate reserve. All subjects wore a heart rate (HR) monitor (Polar FT7) during the training sessions to ensure that exercise intensity was light to moderate. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Change from baseline in maternal gestational weight | Maternal weight gain during pregnancy. Weight will be measured at the beginning and at the end of the pregnancy | 38-42 weeks of gestation |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
