What this study is about

The aim of this trial is to investigate whether regular endurance exercise during the lactation period will influence breastmilk composition among individuals with overweight/obesity, and secondarily to assess if such changes impact the growth and health of the infants.

A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.
