In recent years there has been a great increase of scientific research regarding physical exercise during pregnancy. Nevertheless, many doubts persist leading to a decrease of its practice. We aimed to evaluate the main factors that influence the practice of physical activity during pregnancy and mothers' knowledge regarding its effects. Physical activity has decreased significantly, although it was higher in nulliparous mothers, with higher educational level, employment and between 25 and 34 years old. Mothers who practiced exercise during pregnancy breastfed longer. No correlation was found concerning birth weight, gestational age or obstetric pathology. Although most mothers understand the benefits of physical activity in pregnancy, that doesn't seem to translate in an increasing practice. We believe there should be an increased awareness of health professionals in order to promote controlled physical exercise in pregnant woman.
近年来，关于孕期体育锻炼的科学研究大幅增加。然而，许多疑问依然存在，导致其实际参与度有所下降。我们旨在评估影响孕期体育锻炼的主要因素以及母亲们对其效果的了解情况。体育锻炼显著减少，尽管初产妇、教育程度较高、有工作且年龄在25至34岁之间的母亲参与度更高。孕期进行锻炼的母亲母乳喂养时间更长。未发现与出生体重、孕周或产科病理情况存在相关性。尽管大多数母亲了解孕期体育锻炼的益处，但这似乎并未转化为锻炼参与度的增加。我们认为，卫生专业人员应提高认识，以促进孕妇进行有控制的体育锻炼。
