“…Therefore, they are likely to develop complications such as pelvic pain, lumbar pain, abdominal diastasis, and psychological complications, such as postpartum depression [ 8 ]. Almost half of normal weight women and 2/3 of overweight/obese women exceed the Institute of Medicine (IoM) gestational weight gain guidelines for pregnancy [ 15 ], with this weight retention being associated with increased risk of obesity, cardiovascular disease, and type II diabetes during middle age [ 8 ].…”

Postpartum physical activity is a public health issue. Reporting on the quality of exercise interventions designs must be ensured in view of the reproducibility and successful implementation of such studies. The objective was to develop and preliminary validate a physical exercise program for postpartum recovery, aiming to promote physical fitness and health of the new mothers. The study was carried out through the three stages of development, piloting, and evaluation. The Consensus on Exercise Reporting Template (CERT) was used to describe the postpartum exercise program. The Criteria for Reporting the Development and Evaluation of Complex Interventions in Healthcare (CReDECI2) was followed to develop and preliminary validate the program. A tailored postpartum exercise program was developed based on evidence-based international recommendations to be implemented by qualified exercise professionals. A pilot intervention of 16 weeks was carried out, engaging a group of postpartum women. The viability of the program was subsequently evaluated by all participants. The present work provided guidance to develop a study protocol with a larger sample in order to prove the effectiveness of a supervised postpartum exercise program on selected parameters of health.

Postnatal physical activity is a public health issue. Reporting on the quality of exercise interventions designs must be ensured in view of the reproducibility and successful implementation of such studies. The objective was to develop and validate a physical exercise program for postpartum recovery, aiming to promoting physical fitness and health of the new mothers. A qualitative pilot study was carried out through the three stages of development, piloting, and evaluation. The Consensus on Exercise Reporting Template (CERT) was used to describe the postpartum exercise program. The Criteria for Reporting the Development and Evaluation of Complex Interventions in Healthcare (CReDECI2) was followed to validate the program. A tailored postpartum exercise program was designed and validated based on evidence-based international recommendations to be implemented by qualified exercise professionals. A pilot intervention of 16 weeks was carried out, engaging a group of postpartum women. The viability of the program was subsequently evaluated by all participants. The presented intervention can assist exercise specialists, health professionals and researchers in the planning, promoting, and implementation of an exercise program for postpartum recovery.

“…Many epidemiological studies have assessed the relationship between PA and pregnancy outcomes during the last few decades [ 6 , 7 ], but effective evidence for adverse pregnancy outcomes is still lacking [ 7 ]. In 1985, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) published the first guidelines on prenatal PA, emphasizing the safety of aerobic exercise, but recommending against high-intensity PA, such as running [ 8 ]. The revision by ACOG in 1994 removed the upper limit of the heart rate and duration of exercise [ 9 ].…”

Purpose: Physical activity (PA) during pregnancy has been proven beneficial to pregnant women, with a significant effect on ameliorating many severe gestational complications. This work aimed to reveal current research trends, hotspots, and future frontiers in PA during pregnancy. Methods: Software CiteSpace was used to perform a bibliometric analysis with 1415 publications in the Web of Science Core Collection. Results: the number of published papers on PA during pregnancy has increased gradually by year. The United States has made the most significant contribution to the research on this topic, ranking first in the world in both the number and centrality of research. A total of 54 articles (3.8%) were published in 2022. A majority of publications were research articles (n = 1176, 78.9%). The authors and institutions of the research published have more inter-country collaborations. Different patterns of PA, prevention, and amelioration of pregnancy complications are major research hotspots. Improvement of sedentary behaviour, lifestyle intervention through leisure-time PA, and preterm care are major research frontiers and have received extensive attention in recent years. Conclusions: The current scientometric study presents an overview of PA during pregnancy research conducted throughout the preceding decades. The conclusions of this work might serve as a reference for researchers who are interested in this field.
