[Aqua exercise as a prophylaxis of fetal anoxia]
The paper presents the results of the action of underwater exercises and adaptational respiratory exercise under the hypoventilation mode on health of pregnant women with threatened abortion at different terms of gestation and of their babies. The exercises led to physiological development of pregnancy, diminished intrauterine fetal hypoxia, less frequent hospitalizations of the pregnant women, good pregnancy outcomes, delivery of healthy babies. Moreover, maternal morbidity decreased 1.5-fold and perinatal morbidity 2-fold.

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
Fetal Circulation
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...
Treatment for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Oxygen Therapy for Respiratory Failure
Oxygen therapy is vital in increasing and maintaining blood oxygen levels in PAH patients. As a result, it aids in reducing fatigue, improving...
Hypoxia
Types of Hypoxia
There are four primary types of hypoxia, each resulting from a different cause:
1. Anemic hypoxia: This type occurs due to insufficient oxygen delivery caused by a lack of red blood cells (RBCs) or RBCs with abnormal or...
