- Authors

- Abstract
The article focuses on a research study that examined the effects of exercising during pregnancy. The study, which was conducted by researchers W.F. Schramm, J.W. Stockbauer and H.F. Hoffman, was published in the "American Journal of Epidemiology." The study was conducted in Missouri, and 756 infants of very low birth weight and 779 infants of normal weight were involved in it. It was found that mothers of very low birth weight infants were less likely to have exercised during the first trimester of pregnancy as compared to other mothers. Women who had an infant of normal weight were found to have exercised strenuously. The study concluded that exercising may not lead to low birth weight infants.
