Postpartum physical activity is a public health issue. Reporting on the quality of exercise interventions designs must be ensured in view of the reproducibility and successful implementation of such studies. The objective was to develop and preliminary validate a physical exercise program for postpartum recovery, aiming to promote physical fitness and health of the new mothers. The study was carried out through the three stages of development, piloting, and evaluation. The Consensus on Exercise Reporting Template (CERT) was used to describe the postpartum exercise program. The Criteria for Reporting the Development and Evaluation of Complex Interventions in Healthcare (CReDECI2) was followed to develop and preliminary validate the program. A tailored postpartum exercise program was developed based on evidence-based international recommendations to be implemented by qualified exercise professionals. A pilot intervention of 16 weeks was carried out, engaging a group of postpartum women. The viability of the program was subsequently evaluated by all participants. The present work provided guidance to develop a study protocol with a larger sample in order to prove the effectiveness of a supervised postpartum exercise program on selected parameters of health.
产后身体活动是一个公共卫生问题。鉴于此类研究的可重复性和成功实施，必须确保报告运动干预设计的质量。本研究旨在开发和初步验证一项产后康复的身体锻炼计划，旨在促进新妈妈的身体健康。该研究通过三个阶段的发展、试验和评估来进行。使用运动报告模板（CERT）来描述产后运动计划。遵循制定和初步验证该计划的医疗保健中复杂干预措施的报告标准（CReDECI2）。根据循证国际建议，开发了一种量身定制的产后锻炼计划，由合格的运动专业人员实施。开展了为期 16 周的试验性干预，邀请了一组产后女性参与。随后，所有参与者对该计划的可行性进行了评估。本工作为制定更大样本量的研究方案提供了指导，以便证明监督下的产后运动计划对选定健康参数的有效性。
