“…Furthermore, physical activity during pregnancy was associated with an improved health-related quality of life, lower postpartum Body Mass Index (BMI) and fewer depressive symptoms (Montoya Arizabaleta et al, 2010, Vernon et al, 2010. In a current meta-analysis by Streuling et al (2010) with randomized controlled trials on healthy pregnant women, with increased physical activity as the only intervention, the authors conclude that physical exercise during pregnancy might be successful in restricting gestational weight gain (Streuling et al, 2010).…”

Objective: The objective of the study was to compare the differences in psychological wellbeing and quality of life during pregnancy and postpartum of obese physically active women and obese physically inactive women enrolled in a weight gain restriction program. We also wanted to explore whether physical activity influences weight change or health status during pregnancy.Design: A prospective intervention study. Setting: Antenatal care clinic.Participants: A total of 74 obese pregnant women in a physically active group and 79 obese women in a physically inactive group. Measurements:The women kept diaries of their physical activity during pregnancy and answered the Beck Anxiety Inventory, the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and Medical Study Short-Form Health Survey in gestational week 15 and 35 and 11 weeks postpartum.Physical activity was measured in metabolic equivalents. Findings:The physically active women experienced fewer depressive symptoms and estimated an improved quality of life during their pregnancies as measured by physical functioning, bodily pain, social functioning, role limitations due to emotional problems and general mental health as compared with the physically inactive women. There were no differences between the groups in gestational weight gain or weight change from early pregnancy to postpartum or in prevalence of complications.Key conclusions: Physical activity among obese pregnant women provides better psychological wellbeing and improved quality of life, but does not prevent weight change. Implications for practice:Staff at Antenatal Care Clinics that face obese pregnant women, should encourage and emphasize the benefits of being physically active throughout pregnancy.

“…Nevertheless, given the other benefits of exercise in females with sHT, physicians can prescribe exercise expecting that it will improve quality of life. The recommended levels of physical activity were positively associated with one or more domains of health-related quality of life [19, 24]. In particular, physical functioning, general health, vitality, social functioning, and mental health are critically affected by the recommended level of physical activity [19].…”

Objective. To examine the influence of a medium-impact exercise program (MIEP) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max) in females with subclinical hypothyroidism (sHT). Materials and Methods. We selected 17 sedentary women with sHT (mean age: 43.1 (standard deviation: 9.7) years). Participants carried out an MIEP consisting of 3 weekly sessions of 60 minutes during 12 weeks. Before and after the exercise program HRQoL was assessed by the SF-12v2 questionnaire, and VO2max was evaluated by Rockport walk test. Results. After the 12-week intervention, the participants that performed an MIEP showed improvements in HRQoL in most domains, particularly the vitality domain by 7 points, the social functioning domain by 10 points, the mental health domain by 7 points, and the mental component summary by 7 points. One of the four domains within the physical component summary (general health domain) showed significant effect of the exercise intervention: 6 points. Moreover, the participants that performed exercise showed a higher VO2max (28%; P < 0.01). Conclusion. After 12 weeks of medium-impact exercise program, there were remarkable improvements in HRQoL in most domains. Moreover, this exercise program proved to have a positive influence on cardiorespiratory fitness.

ebelik, kadının biyo-psikososyal dengesinin, aile ve iş yerindeki rollerinin değiştiği, anne ve bebek arasında ebeveynlik ilişkisinin kurulduğu yaşamsal bir kriz dönemidir. 1,2 Gebelik doğal bir olay olmasına rağmen, anne organizmasında önemli anatomik, fizyolojik ve psikolojik değişikliklere neden olmaktadır. Anne vücudu bu değişikliklere yeterli düzeyde uyum sağlayamadığında, anne ve 71 Gebelerde Fiziksel Egzersizin Yaşam Kalitesi Üzerine Etkisi Ö ÖZ ZE ET T A Am ma aç ç: : Bu araştırma, gebelerde fiziksel egzersizin yaşam kalitesi üzerine etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. G Ge er re eç ç v ve e Y Yö ön nt te em ml le er r: : Araştırmanın evrenini; Malatya il merkezinde bulunan 10 Aile Sağlığı Merkezine kayıtlı 580 gebe oluşturdu. Araştırmanın örneklemini ise evreni bilinen örneklem hesaplamasına göre minimal örneklem büyüklüğü olan 230 gebe oluşturdu. Tanımlayıcı olarak yapılan bu araştırmanın verileri, Malatya il merkezinde bulunan aile sağlığı merkezlerinden Ekim 2013-Eylül 2014 tarihleri arasında toplandı. Veriler gebe tanıtım formu, egzersiz yarar ve engel ölçeği, yaşam kalitesi öl-çeği kullanılarak toplandı. Verilerin analizinde; yüzdelik dağılımlar, t testi, Varyans Analizi (ANOVA), Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U ve Pearson Kolerasyon testleri kullanıldı. B Bu ul lg gu ul la ar r: : Araştırma kapsamına alınan gebelerin %69,1'nin egzersizin faydalarını bilmediği ve %89,6'sının egzersiz yapmadığı belirlendi. Egzersiz yapanların yaşam kalitesi mental sağlık puanlarının yüksek ve istatistiksel olarak önemli olduğu saptandı (p<0,05). Bu araştırmadaki gebelerde egzersiz yarar ölçeği puanları ile yaşam kalitesi fiziksel puanları arasında pozitif yönde bir korelasyon saptandı (0,268, p=0,001). Egzersiz yapma durumları arttıkça toplam yaşam kalitesi puanlarının arttığı belirlendi. S So on nu uç ç: : Gebelerde egzersizin yaşam kalitesini olumlu yönde etkilediği saptandı. Bu nedenle gebelerin yaşam kalitesini yükseltmek için hemşireler tarafından egzersizin gebelikteki önemi, faydaları hakkında eğitim verilmesi önerilmektedir.A An na ah ht ta ar r K Ke el li im me el le er r: : Yaşam kalitesi; gebe kadınlar; egzersiz; ebelik A AB BS ST TR RA AC CT T O Ob bj je ec ct ti iv ve e: : This study was conducted in order to determine the effects of physical exercising on quality of life in pregnancy.

The data of this descriptive study was collected between October 2013 and September 2014 from the family health centers located in the city center of Malatya. The data were collected using pregnant introductory form, exercise benefit and barrier scale, quality of life scale.
