The aim of this study was to identify factors that may influence a pregnant woman's decision to exercise after giving birth. A sample of 98 pregnant women were asked to complete a questionnaire investigation attitudes, social norms, perceived barriers to exercise, and intention regarding exercising after giving birth. Also determined were age, education level, exercise habits, number of months elapsed since onset of present pregnancy, and number of children. The regressions of intentions to exercise on all variables yielded R2 of 0.52 for nulliparous and 0.60 for pluriparous pregnant women. Important differences in variables that explained intentions were found between both groups of women, with perceived barriers to exercise being a key predictor that was, in turn, influenced by previous experience with pregnancy. It is suggested that the experience of the postnatal period modifies the interrelation between the variables explaining intentions regarding exercise after giving birth. Consequently, the programs should take into account the impact that the birth of a first child will have on the perceived barriers to exercise.
本研究的目的是确定可能影响孕妇产后锻炼决定的因素。对98名孕妇进行了抽样，要求她们完成一份关于态度、社会规范、感知到的锻炼障碍以及产后锻炼意向的问卷调查。还确定了年龄、教育水平、锻炼习惯、本次怀孕开始后的月数以及子女数量。对所有变量进行锻炼意向回归分析得出，初产妇的R2为0.52，经产妇的R2为0.60。在两组女性中发现了解释意向的变量存在重要差异，感知到的锻炼障碍是一个关键预测因素，而这又受到既往怀孕经历的影响。建议产后经历会改变解释产后锻炼意向的变量之间的相互关系。因此，相关项目应考虑头胎出生对感知到的锻炼障碍所产生的影响。
