          Abstract

          Nos períodos críticos de desenvolvimento do organismo, estímulos ambientais como o exercício físico e a dieta podem influenciar o fluxo placentário e o crescimento somático fetal. O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar as repercussões do treinamento físico e da desnutrição durante a gestação sobre os eixos cranianos de ratos neonatos. Ratos machos Wistar foram divididos de acordo com a manipulação de suas mães: não treinados controle (Cf, n = 25), treinados (Tf, n = 25), não treinados e desnutridos (Df, n = 25), treinados e desnutridos (TDf, n = 25). Mães treinadas (T e TD) foram submetidas a oito semanas de treinamento físico moderado antes e durante a gestação (60min/dia, cinco dias/sem a 65% do VO2max). Mães desnutridas (D e TD) receberam dieta hipoproteica durante a gestação (8% caseína) enquanto as nutridas (C e T) receberam dieta normoproteica (17% caseína). No primeiro dia pós-natal foi verificado número de filhotes nascidos por ninhada, peso da ninhada e peso ao nascer, eixo látero-lateral do crânio (ELLC) e anteroposterior do crânio (EAPC), eixo longitudinal do corpo (EL) e comprimento da cauda (CC) de cada neonato. No terceito dia pós-parto, os encéfalos foram extraídos e pesados. Durante a gestação, as fêmeas dos grupos T e D apresentaram menor ganho de peso em comparação ao grupo C na terceira semana (C = 34,4 ± 1,3; T = 30,7 ± 0,60; D = 25,8 ± 0,78; TD = 29,9 ± 0,83). Os grupos desnutridos apresentaram menor peso ao nascer em relação aos seus respectivos controles (Cf = 6,3 ± 0,1; Tf = 6,3 ± 0,1; Df = 4,7 ± 0,07; TDf = 5,0 ± 0,06). O grupo Df apresentou as medidas do ELLC (Cf = 9,8 ± 0,06; Tf = 9,8 ± 0,05; Df = 9,2 ± 0,04; TDf = 9,6 ± 0,13) e EAPC (Cf = 18,1 ± 0,1; Tf = 18,2 ± 0,1; Df = 17,5 ± 0,1; TDf = 18,0 ± 0,2) menores comparadas aos filhotes controles. Com base nos resultados, pode-se concluir que a desnutrição no período fetal alterou o desenvolvimento somático enquanto o treinamento físico influenciou positivamente os eixos do crânio dos conceptos.

          In critical periods of body development, environmental stimuli such as physical exercise and diet may influence on placental flow and fetal somatic growth. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of physical training and malnutrition during pregnancy on the skull axis of newborn rats. Male Wistar rats were divided according to manipulation of their mothers: untrained control (Cf, n = 25), trained (Tf, n = 25), untrained and malnourished (Mf, n = 25), trained and malnourished (TMf, n = 25). Trained mothers (T and TM) were submitted to 8 weeks of moderate physical training before and during pregnancy (60min/day, 5 days/wk to 65% of VO2max). Malnourished mothers (M and TM) received a low protein diet during pregnancy (8% casein) while the nourished (C and T) were fed with normal diet (17% casein). On the 1st postnatal day, the number of pups born per litter, litter weight and birth weight, latero-lateral axis of skull (LLAS) and antero-posterior axis of skull (APAS), longitudinal axis of the body (LA) and length of tail (LT) of each neonate were verified. On the 3rd day after delivery, the brains were extracted and weighed. During pregnancy, the females of the T and M groups showed lower weight gain compared with group C at 3rd week (C = 34.4 ± 1.3, T = 30.7 ± 0.60, M = 25.8 ± 0.78, TM = 29.9 ± 0.83). The malnourished group had lower birth weight in relation to their respective controls (Cf = 6.3 ± 0.1, Tf = 6.3 ± 0.1, Mf = 4.7 ± 0.07; TMf = 5.0 ± 0.06). Group Mf presented measures of LLAS (Cf = 9.8 ± 0.06, Tf = 9.8 ± 0.05, Mf = 9.2 ± 0.04; TMf = 9.6 ± 0.13) and EAPC (Cf = 18.1 ± 0.1, Tf = 18.2 ± 0.1, Mf = 17.5 ± 0.1, TMf = 18.0 ± 0.2) lower compared to controls. Based on the results, it can be concluded that malnutrition during fetal period changed somatic development, while physical training positively influenced on the skull axis of the concepts.

          Exercise during pregnancy and the postpartum period.

          (2003)
          The physiologic and morphologic changes of pregnancy may interfere with the ability to engage safely in some forms of physical activity. A woman's overall health, including obstetric and medical risks, should be evaluated before prescribing an exercise program. Generally, participation in a wide range of recreational activities appears to be safe during pregnancy; however, each sport should be reviewed individually for its potential risk, and activities with a high risk of falling or those with a high risk of abdominal trauma should be avoided during pregnancy. Scuba diving also should be avoided throughout pregnancy because the fetus is at an increased risk for decompression sickness during this activity. In the absence of either medical or obstetric complications, 30 minutes or more of moderate exercise a day on most, if not all, days of the week is recommended for pregnant women.

            Influence of endurance exercise and diet on human placental development and fetal growth.

            J Clapp (2015)
            The delivery of oxygen and substrate to the maternal-fetal interphase is the major maternal environmental stimulus which either up- or down-regulates feto-placental growth. During pregnancy, sustained exercise sessions cause an intermittent reduction in oxygen and substrate delivery to the interphase that may exceed 50% during the exercise but, it is probable that regular bouts of sustained exercise or exercise training may improve oxygen and substrate delivery at rest. The type of maternal carbohydrate intake (low- versus high-glycemic sources) and food intake frequency also influence substrate availability through their effects on maternal blood glucose levels and insulin sensitivity. As a result, different exercise regimens and/or different types of carbohydrate intake modify feto-placental growth. The magnitude and direction of the effect is determined by their average 24-h effect on oxygen and substrate availability at different time-points in pregnancy. In general, exercise in early and mid pregnancy stimulates placental growth while the relative amount of exercise in late pregnancy determines its effect on late fetal growth. Low-glycemic food sources in the diet decrease growth rate and size at birth while high-glycemic food sources increase it. Thus, it may be possible to improve pregnancy outcomes in both healthy, low-risk women and a variety of high-risk populaces by simply modifying maternal physical activity and dietary carbohydrate intake during pregnancy.

              The effects of maternal exercise on fetal oxygenation and feto-placental growth.

              Sustained bouts of maternal exercise during pregnancy cause an acute reduction in oxygen and nutrient delivery to the placental site. The decreased flow also initiates a slight fall in intervillous and fetal pO2 which initiates a fetal sympathetic response. This, coupled with hemoconcentration and improved placental perfusion balance, maintains fetal tissue perfusion and oxygen uptake. Exercise training during pregnancy (regular bouts of sustained exercise) increases resting maternal (and perhaps fetal) plasma volume, intervillous space blood volume, cardiac output and placental function. These changes buffer the acute reductions in oxygen and nutrient delivery during exercise and probably increase 24 h nutrient delivery to the placental site. Thus, the effect of any given exercise regimen on fetal growth and size at birth is dependent on the type, frequency, intensity and duration of the exercise as well as the time point in the pregnancy when the exercise is performed. Maternal carbohydrate intake is yet another modifying factor. Beginning a moderate exercise regimen increases both anatomic markers of placental function and size at birth while maintaining a rigorous exercise regimen throughout pregnancy selectively reduces growth of the fetal fat organ and size at birth. Likewise, decreasing exercise performance in late-pregnancy increases size at birth while increasing exercise performance decreases it. Finally, the infants born of exercising women who eat carbohydrates which elevate 24 h blood glucose levels are large at birth irrespective of exercise performance.
