The intrauterine environment can modulate the course of development and confer an enduring effect on offspring health. The effects of maternal diet to impair offspring metabolic health are well established, but the effects of maternal exercise on offspring metabolic health have been less defined. Because physical exercise is a treatment for obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D), maternal exercise is an appealing intervention to positively influence the intrauterine environment and improve the metabolic health of offspring. Recent research has provided insights into the effects of maternal exercise on the metabolic health of adult offspring, which is the focus of this review.

母亲锻炼可改善成年后代的代谢健康


子宫内环境可以调节发育过程并对后代健康产生持久影响。母亲饮食对后代代谢健康的影响已明确，但母亲运动对后代代谢健康的影响尚不明确。由于体育锻炼是治疗肥胖和 2 型糖尿病 (T2D) 的一种方法，因此孕产妇锻炼是一种很有吸引力的干预措施，可以积极影响宫内环境并改善后代的代谢健康。最近的研究深入了解了母亲运动对成年后代代谢健康的影响，这是本次综述的重点。
