简要总结
Vitamin D and calcium levels are negatively affected during postpartum period, making postnatal woman more vulnerable to health issues and consequently lowering her quality of life. Twelve-weeks of Pilates training have improved serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels and changed anthropometry in inactive overweight women. It is well-known globally that aerobic exercise is low to moderate-intensity physical activity.
