Abstract
Aims: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is an asymptotic disease and can lead to adverse outcomes before and during childbirth. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of resistance training (RT) on sexual hormones in women with GDM.

Materials & Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 22 women with insulin-treated GDM, with a gestational age of 24 weeks, were selected and according to body mass index were divided into equal groups of RT and control (C). During 6 weeks the RT group performed RTs for 3 sessions per week and C group only had daily activities during this time. To analyze the data, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, independent sample t-test, and repeated measure ANOVA test at p≤0.05 were used.

Findings: Six weeks of RT significantly reduced estrogen (p= 0.01) and increased prolactin (p= 0.001) in women with GDM, however, had not significant effect on progesterone (p= 0.34).

Conclusion: Six weeks of RT seems to improve the sexual hormones in women with GDM.
