Bio/Research
Dr. Mottola is the Director of R. Samuel McLaughlin Foundation - Exercise and Pregnancy Laboratory at Western - which is the only lab in North America that specializes in the area of exercising pregnant and post-partum women. She is an anatomist and exercise physiologist, who, for the past 20 years, has conducted research on the effects of maternal exercise on both the mother and the developing fetus. Dr. Mottola's research has 5 main focuses:
1. The effects of maternal exercise on carbohydrate metabolism and fetal outcome.
2. The effects of nutritional intake and maternal exercise on gestational diabetes.
3. The effects of occupation and recreational physical activity on birth weight.
4. Pregnancy & post-partum physical fitness training in fit women.
5. The effects of a bed-rest-exercise intervention on hospitalized high risk pregnant women.
