Assessment of the effects of physical activity on fetal heart rate - using a wireless, non-invasive device to monitor fetal heart rate
Summary description of the study
In our research project, we aim to investigate the effects of strenuous physical activity more closely to improve the monitoring of the unborn child during sports activity.
(BASEC)
Intervention under investigation
Participation involves a performance test on a cycle ergometer.
During the performance testing, fetal heart rate is continuously measured using a wireless, non-invasive CTG (cardiotocogram) device and additionally via ultrasound during the breaks between stages.
(BASEC)
Disease under investigation
The effects of strenuous physical exercise during pregnancy and postpartum have been minimally studied in both regular recreational athletes and elite athletes. As a result, current recommendations are primarily based on expert opinions rather than scientific findings.
