One hundred patients with GDM from Hangzhou Women\u2019s Hospital from May 2020 to September 2020 who received regular obstetric follow-ups and intended to deliver in our hospital were recruited. Patients were randomly divided into a control group (conventional health education model of exercise during pregnancy) and a test group (received the Axivity 3.0-based management model combined with health education). A general information questionnaire, Pregnancy Exercise Self-efficacy Scale (P-ESES), Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire; physical activity levels; fasting blood glucose (FBG), 2-hour postprandial blood glucose (2hPG); the duration of the first and second stages of labor for vaginally-delivering patients were assessed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>After the 4-week intervention, the total P-ESES score was significantly higher in the test group (median 39, IQR 36-42) than in the control group (median 36, IQR 33-38; p &amp;lt; 0.001). Weekly moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) time increased to 75.95 \u00b1 28.30 minutes in the test group versus 56.24 \u00b1 23.66 minutes in the control group (mean difference: 19.71 minutes\/week, p=0.001). At delivery, fasting blood glucose (FBG) and 2-hour postprandial glucose (2hPG) levels were significantly lower in the test group (FBG: 4.47 \u00b1 0.47 mmol\/L; 2hPG: 5.40 \u00b1 0.56 mmol\/L) compared to the control group (FBG: 4.82 \u00b1 0.41 mmol\/L, p=0.001; 2hPG: 6.02 \u00b1 0.63 mmol\/L, p&amp;lt;0.001).
