Summary

Gestational diabetes (GDM) is defined as 'pregnancy-onset or first noticed glucose intolerance'. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of circuit exercise program applied in addition to diet therapy on cognitive function, functional exercise capacity, mobility, depression and quality of life in women with gestational diabetes. 60 female participants between the ages of 18-35 who meet the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. Participants will be randomly divided into 2 groups as diet group (n=30) and exercise group (n=30). All participants will receive GDM-specific dietary therapy for 6 weeks. In addition to diet therapy, individuals in the exercise group will be given a circuit exercise program for 6 weeks. Participants will be evaluated for blood values, cognitive status and functionality at the baseline and 6 weeks later.

Conditions

• Gestational Diabetes

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Diet	Special diet program for gestational diabetes
OTHER	Exercise	The circuit exercise program will consist of a medium-intensity circuit training for 50 minutes, 3 days a week, detailing the main muscle groups of the patients (chest, back, biceps, triceps, deltoid, quadriceps, thigh and calf muscles). Exercise intensity will be monitored using Borg's scale of perceived exertion, with a target intensity of 12 to 14. 8 exercises will be given in a continuous, circuit-type manner with short 1-minute rests.
