Abstract

The objective of this review paper was to provide a directional explanation to the debate of whether or not to exercise during pregnancy by examining the evidence from articles in PubMed database. This review article distinguished the evidence of efficacy for aerobic exercises in pregnant women through studies on physiological responses, exercise prescription considerations, maternal and fetal health benefits, and systematic reviews/ meta-analyses. The existing evidence reiterated the safety of aerobic exercises in all three trimesters, and a simple walking exercise program was shown to be beneficial of all health-related outcomes including quality of life in pregnant women.
