Abstract
Background and Purpose: Gestational diabetes is the most common metabolic disorder during pregnancy, which has many complications for the mother and fetus. For this reason, prevention and screening programs have been carried out in many countries of the world for years. Research has shown that continuing regular exercise during pregnancy does not have any negative effects on the mother, the development of the fetus and the results of the pregnancy, but it makes the mother have better pregnancy and parturition results. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of combined training on glucose and insulin changes in women with gestational diabetes.
Method:
For this purpose, among pregnant women aged 25 to 35 years with gestational diabetes and gestational age of 23 to 24 weeks, 28 people were voluntarily selected to conduct the research and randomly divided into two groups, the experimental group (14 people). and control (14 people). The combined exercise training program was as follows in 12 weeks, three training sessions each week. Measurements and blood tests were performed 24 hours before the start of training and 24 hours after the last training session. In order to analyze the data, ANOVA test with repeated measures (repeated measure ANOVA) was used. The significance level was considered as p≤0.05 and the data was analyzed using SPSS version 23 software.

Results: 12 weeks of combined exercise training caused a significant increase in the hormone insulin (P=0.001) and significant reduction in blood glucose (P=0.001) and insulin resistance levels (P=0.001) in the experimental group.

Conclusion: The results of the above research showed that women with gestational diabetes can benefit from many Advantages including improving glucose and insulin levels, with correct and principled exercise training.
