The aims of this paper are (1) to comment on the evidence relating to the health risks and benefits of physical activity (PA) for pregnant women and their unborn foetuses. and (2) to discuss the public health benefits of participation in appropriate physical activity during pregnancy. Evidence from recent original research and review papers suggests that there are potential benefits of appropriate PA in terms of maternal weight control and fitness, which are likely to have significant long term public health benefits. Concerns about the potential ill-effects of PA during pregnancy, such as hyperthermia, shortened gestational age and decreased birth weight are not supported by the most recent scientific reviews. The physiological adaptations to exercise during pregnancy appear to protect the foetus from potential harm and, while an upper level of safe activity has not been established, the benefits of continuing to be active during pregnancy appear to outweigh any potential risks. All decisions about participation in physical activity during pregnancy should however be made by women in consultation with their medical advisers.
（1）评论与孕妇及其未出生胎儿身体活动（PA）的健康风险和益处相关的证据；（2）讨论孕期参与适当身体活动对公共健康的益处。近期原创研究和综述论文的证据表明，适当的身体活动在控制母体体重和健康方面具有潜在益处，这可能会带来显著的长期公共健康效益。最近的科学综述并不支持对孕期身体活动潜在不良影响的担忧，如体温过高、孕周缩短和出生体重降低。孕期对运动的生理适应似乎能保护胎儿免受潜在伤害，虽然尚未确定安全活动的上限，但孕期持续进行身体活动的益处似乎超过任何潜在风险。然而，关于孕期参与身体活动的所有决定都应由女性与其医学顾问协商后做出。
