“…It seems important to note that even regular walks carried out during pregnancy, that are low-intensity exercises, can significantly reduce the symptoms of depression in pregnant women, as Petrovic et al confirmed in their study [45]. This is in line with similar studies conducted by Taniguchi et al [46].…”

“…In 2016, Petrovic et al [45] conducted a study on the influence of walking training on depressive disorders in women at 9 months of pregnancy (n = 200). It has been shown that with the increase of time devoted to physical activity, the level of depressive disorders decreases ( p < 0.05; r = −0.14).…”

“…Despite the seriousness of the problem of depression in pregnancy, still very few papers assess the impact of physical activity in pregnancy on the development of depression in this period [41,42,43,44,45,46,48,49,50,51,52,53,55,56,57,58,59]. However, the results of this review clearly suggest that even a small amount of physical activity during pregnancy may reduce the severity of depressive symptoms, as well as the occurrence of depression.…”

Background and Objectives: Pregnancy is a unique period in the life of every woman. The lifestyle of a pregnant woman has a significant impact on her and her child’s health. Regular physical activity is one of the elements that help maintain normal mental and physical well-being. In pregnant women who regularly have moderate physical activity, there is a lower risk of developing obesity and overweight. Physical exercises have an impact on maintaining proper muscular tonus, reduce pain and prepare for the exertion during labour. Based on the available literature, the aim of this study was to present the impact of physical activity on depressive disorders in pregnant women. Materials and Methods: A review of the literature was carried out in the Medline PubMed database. The basic search terms were: “pregnancy” AND “physical activity AND depression”. The work included only English-language publications published in the years 2000–2018. Results: A total of 408 references were found. On the basis of an analysis of titles, abstracts and the language of publication (other than English), 354 articles were rejected, and 54 articles were fully read, of which five were rejected due to lack of access to the full version. Finally, 17 references were included in the review. Conclusions: Physical activity, at least once a week, significantly reduces the symptoms of depression in pregnant women and may be an important factor in the prevention of depression in this period.

“…In the present study, the health benefits of walking and moderate PA during pregnancy were in line with conventional studies and guidelines [ 9 ]. For instance, Petrovic et al [ 34 ] confirmed a significant relationship between walking daily and lower risks for depression and anxiety during pregnancy. Moreover, exercise guidelines in Canada, Japan, Norway, Spain, and conventional studies recommend walking during pregnancy to receive general health benefits [ 9 , 10 ].…”

To discuss appropriate physical activity (PA) levels during pregnancy, this prospective cohort study examined the relationships between PA levels before and during pregnancy and physical and mental health status. Fixed data for 104,102 pregnant women were used from the Japan Environment and Children’s Study, of which data for 82,919 women were analyzed after excluding women with multiple birth and pregnancy complications. PA levels were measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form. The 8-Item Short Form Health Survey was used to measure outcomes. Logistic regression with multiple imputations showed that moderate PA for over 720 min/wk and vigorous PA before pregnancy were associated with poorer mental health in the first trimester (adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 1.087–1.376. Walking in the second and third trimesters was associated with better physical and mental health (AOR: 0.855–0.932). Moderate PA over 1080 min/wk and vigorous PA in the second and third trimesters were associated with poorer mental health (AOR: 1.223–1.873). Increases over 4135.4 MET–min/wk and decreases in PA levels were associated with poorer mental and physical health (AOR: 1.070–1.333). Namely, pregnant women receiving health benefits prefer continuous walking in addition to avoiding vigorous PA and excessive changes in PA levels during pregnancy.

“…The exclusion criteria for the study were the history of any psychiatric disorder, such as schizophrenia, depression, anxiety disorders, or substance use disorders; the history of neurological disorders; history of various chronic illnesses and conditions, such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, hypertension, and lung diseases; and the use of medications that may impact psychic functions, such as antidepressants and anxiolytics. The sampling was done similarly as in our previous similar publications (Blachnio et al, 2015; Petrovic et al, 2016; Pantic et al, 2017). The approval for the wider research was obtained from the Ethical Commission of the Belgrade University, Faculty of Medicine, Serbia.…”
