Description
Exercise in pregnancy may shape a baby's body before birth, reaching even into the cells that become fat. Alex Claiborne and co-authors tested that idea in 2024. Mothers trained under supervision for about twenty-four weeks, and at delivery the team collected stem cells from the umbilical cord and grew them toward fat cells in the lab.
Babies of exercising mothers had stem cells that stored less fat and, at one month old, lower body fat than peers, whatever the exercise dose. Total exercise volume tracked with leaner babies, mostly through thinner back skinfolds, and weekly exercise time tracked with the cells' fat storage. The authors read the results as a dose-linked easing of the family cycle of obesity.
