Current scientific evidence supports the recommendation to initiate or continue physical exercise in healthy pregnant women. Group exercise programs have positive effects on improving health, well-being, and social support. In 2015, a systematic review was provided to evaluate the evidence on the effectiveness of group exercise programs in improving pregnant women's and newborns' health outcomes and to assess the content of the programs. This review aims to update this knowledge between 2015 and 2020. The exercise program designs were analyzed with the Consensus of Exercise Reporting Template (CERT) model, the compliance with the current guidelines, and effectiveness in the maternal health and fitness parameters. Three databases were used to conduct literature searches. Thirty-one randomized control trials were selected for analysis. All studies followed a supervised group exercise program including aerobic, resistance, pelvic floor training, stretching, and relaxation sections. Group interventions during pregnancy improved health and fitness outcomes for the women and newborns, although some gaps were identified in the interventions. Multidisciplinary teams of exercise and health professionals should advise pregnant women that group exercise improves a wide range of health outcomes for them and their newborns.
目前的科学证据支持建议健康孕妇开始或继续进行身体锻炼。团体运动项目对改善健康、幸福感和社会支持有积极影响。2015 年，进行了一项系统评价，以评估团体运动项目对改善孕妇和新生儿健康结果的有效性，并评估项目的内容。本综述旨在更新 2015 年至 2020 年之间的相关知识。使用共识运动报告模板（CERT）模型分析运动方案设计、对当前指南的遵循情况以及对产妇健康和健身参数的有效性。使用了三个数据库进行文献检索。选择了 31 项随机对照试验进行分析。所有研究均遵循包括有氧运动、阻力训练、骨盆底训练、伸展和放松等内容的监督团体运动方案。怀孕期间的团体干预措施改善了妇女和新生儿的健康和健身结果，但干预措施中仍存在一些差距。运动和健康专业人员的多学科团队应告知孕妇，团体运动可改善她们及其新生儿的广泛健康结果。
