Abstract
This study was conducted to examine the effect of aerobic exercise on coagulation factors and to decrease formation of venous thromboembolism in obese pregnant women. The design of the study was a clinical controlled trial of 30 volunteers of obese pregnant women; their ages ranged between 25 to 35 years and their BMI ranged from 30 to 34.9 kg/m²were participated in the study from outpatient clinic of obstetrics and gynecology of Abbassia chest hospital. They were assigned randomly into 2 groups (A and B) equal in numbers : group (A) study group : participated in an aerobic exercise program in the form of walking on a treadmill for 30 minutes , 3 times per week for 4 weeks, and group (B) control group : acted as control group and did not receive any exercising programs. Evaluation of both groups (A& B) was done before starting and after the end of the study period through measuring levels of platelet aggregation and fibrinogen. The results of this study showed a statistically significant improvement in platelet aggregation and fibrinogen levels in group (A) compared with group (b).Accordingly, it could be concluded that aerobic exercise improves the coagulation factors and decrease formation of venous thromboembolism in obese pregnant women
