Physical Activity 'Is Beneficial During Pregnancy'

New research has suggested that physical activity for women during pregnancy is beneficial.

The study, which has been carried out by experts from Camilo José Cela University and published in the Journal of American Medicine Association, found that exercise should be taken not only by healthy, previously active women, but also reinforcing the fact that it is a good time to adopt a healthy lifestyle.

The study examined the physical exercise patterns during pregnancy that have demonstrated significant physiological benefits for both mother and baby. The findings urge the important of combining aerobic and strength training in each session, which should last 45 to 65 minutes, over three or four days a week.

It is suggested that the exercise should be of moderate intensity, but it should be analysed for each woman and controlled throughout the session.

María Perales, lead author of the study, commented: "The exercises recommended in our study should be performed not only by healthy pregnant women, but also by sedentary females prior to pregnancy since this is a good time to adopt a physically active lifestyle. This also goes for women at risk of being overweight or obese or at risk of gestational diabetes and chronic hypertension."
