First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether Pilates or aerobic exercise can help new mothers improve their vitamin D and calcium levels, which often drop after childbirth. Sixty healthy women, 6-12 weeks after giving birth, will do either Pilates or aerobic exercise for 12 weeks. The goal is to see which exercise better boosts these nutrients and overall well-being.
