exercise recomendations pre/post partium
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| During pregnancy, women can continue to exercise and | derive health benefits even from mild to moderate exercise routines. |
| Regular exercise (at least three times per week) | is preferable to intermittent activity. |
| Women should avoid exercise in the supine position | after the first trimester. |
| Supine position is associated with | decreased cardiac output in most pregnant women. |
| the remaining cardiac output will be | preferentially distributed away from splanchnic beds (including the uterus) during vigorous exercise, such regimens are best avoided during pregnancy. |
| Prolonged periods of motionless standing | should also be avoided. |
| Women should be aware of the decreased | oxygen available for aerobic exercise during pregnancy. |
| They should be encouraged to modify | the intensity of their exercise according to maternal symptoms. |
| Pregnant women should stop exercising when | fatigued and not exercise to exhaustion. |
| Weight bearing exercises may, under some circumstances, | be continued at intensities similar to those prior to pregnancy throughout pregnancy. Non-weight bearing exercises, such as cycling or swimming, will minimize the risk of injury and facilitate the continuation of exercise during pregnancy. |
| Morphologic changes in pregnancy | should serve as a relative contraindication to types of exercise in which loss of balance could be detrimental to maternal or fetal well-being, especially in the third trimester. |
| any type of exercise involving the potential for even mild abdominal trauma | should be avoided. |
| Pregnancy requires an additional | 300 kcal/day in order to maintain metabolic homeostasis. |
| women who exercise during pregnancy should be particularly careful | to ensure an adequate diet. |
| Pregnant women who exercise in the | first trimester should augment heat dissipation by ensuring adequate hydration, appropriate clothing, and optimal environmental surroundings during exercise. |
| Many of the physiological and morphological changes of pregnancy persist | four to six weeks postpartum. |
| pre-pregnancy exercise routines should be resumed | gradually based upon a womanʼs physical capability. |
