Physical activity and exercise in pregnancy are generally beneficial and enhance the physical and mental health of women. These benefits also prevent excessive weight gain and reduce risks of obesity in pregnancy, such as gestational diabetes, hypertensive disorders, higher rates of caesarean delivery, macrosomia and stillbirth. Thus, there is a need to optimise perinatal exercise and physical activity globally. There is currently no consensus recommendation on the role of physical activity and exercise in pregnancy and the postpartum period in the Asia-Pacific region. In this paper, we present seven key consensus recommendations on physical activity and exercise in pregnancy and the postpartum period by 18 key members representing 10 countries in Asia-Pacific regions during an international workshop of the Asia Diabetes in Pregnancy Conference in Singapore on 11-12 January 2020. Through these consensus recommendations, we hope to improve the metabolic health of pregnant women living in Asia-Pacific regions by educating the public and guiding healthcare professionals on the safety and importance of physical exercise and activity to benefit pregnant women and after childbirth.
孕期的身体活动和锻炼通常有益，能增强女性的身心健康。这些益处还可防止体重过度增加，并降低孕期肥胖的风险，如妊娠期糖尿病、高血压疾病、剖宫产率升高、巨大儿和死产。因此，有必要在全球范围内优化围产期锻炼和身体活动。目前，亚太地区对于孕期及产后身体活动和锻炼的作用尚无共识性建议。在本文中，我们展示了2020年1月11日至12日在新加坡举行的亚洲妊娠期糖尿病会议国际研讨会上，由代表亚太地区10个国家的18名关键成员提出的关于孕期及产后身体活动和锻炼的七条关键共识性建议。通过这些共识性建议，我们希望通过教育公众并指导医疗保健专业人员了解体育锻炼和活动对孕妇及产后女性的安全性和重要性，来改善生活在亚太地区的孕妇的代谢健康。
