Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the associations of abdominal muscles thickness and inter-recti distance (IRD) at late pregnancy with birth-related outcomes and umbilical cord blood (CB) gas values. Design: cross-sectional study. Setting: Sport and Health University Research Institute Sample: One hundred and fifty-two pregnant women. Main outcome measures: The thickness of the abdominal muscles (transverse abdominis [TrA], internal [IO] and external obliques [EO]) and the IRD were measured by ultrasound at the 34th gestational week. Birth outcomes were collected from obstetric medical records. Umbilical CB gas concentrations were assessed after birth using a blood analyzer. Results: Greater TrA and IO thickness were associated with a higher venous CB PO2 value, both at muscular rest (respectively, p |
