Exercise in pregnancy may boost Baby's immune markers, study hints
NCT ID NCT07579468
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how much physical activity a pregnant woman does and whether it changes a substance called calprotectin in her baby's cord blood. Calprotectin is linked to infection risk in newborns. The researchers will measure activity levels in 250 mothers and test cord blood right after birth. The goal is to see if regular exercise might help protect babies from infections.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- physical activity level during pregnancy
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could help us understand how exercise during pregnancy might influence a baby's immune system and reduce infection risk.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only measures a marker in cord blood, so it cannot prove that exercise directly causes any health benefit.
