Maternal physical activity is beneficial to pregnant women, fetus and newborns. Evidence suggests that the level of physical activity in this group is not up to the expectation around the world. Lack of knowledge on the benefits of physical activity during pregnancy and not being aware of the recommendations are major reasons for this situation. Although individual studies have reported various levels of knowledge on maternal physical activity in different populations, no studies have systematically reviewed the literature to provide global evidence on the topic that is useful in initiating multinational approaches to improve maternal physical activity. The proposed study aims to systematically review prevalence of knowledge on maternal physical activity among pregnant women in different regions in the world.
The proposed systematic review is designed according to the guidelines for conducting systematic reviews of prevalence and will be reported following the recommendations in the PRISMA statement. Quantitative cross-sectional, descriptive and observational studies published from year 2000 to 2022 will be included in the review. PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, Embase, SPORTDiscus and Web of Science Core Collections will be searched using keywords relevant to physical activity, pregnant women and knowledge. Grey literature on the topic will be located through searching grey information sources, hand searching of reference lists and communicating with experts in the field. Screening of search results, selection and quality assessment of studies and data extraction will be independently performed by two reviewers. Assistance of a third reviewer will be sought to resolve any disagreement during the selection and quality assessment steps. After appraising the quality and consistency of selected studies, a premade data collection form will be used for data extraction. Narrative synthesis approach will be used in this review to analyze the evidence in primary studies.
The proposed review will summarize evidence on the level of knowledge on maternal physical activity among pregnant women in different populations and delineate interregional discrepancies. The study will locate high priority regions with poor knowledge and identify elements of knowledge that needs attention.
孕产妇体育活动对孕妇、胎儿和新生儿有益。有证据表明，全球这一群体的体育活动水平未达预期。缺乏孕期体育活动益处的知识以及不了解相关建议是造成这种情况的主要原因。尽管个别研究报告了不同人群对孕产妇体育活动的不同程度的了解，但尚无研究对文献进行系统综述，以提供关于该主题的全球证据，从而有助于启动跨国方法来改善孕产妇体育活动。拟议的研究旨在系统综述世界不同地区孕妇对孕产妇体育活动的知识知晓率。
拟议的系统综述根据进行患病率系统综述的指南设计，并将按照PRISMA声明中的建议进行报告。纳入2000年至2022年发表的定量横断面、描述性和观察性研究。将使用与体育活动、孕妇和知识相关的关键词在PubMed、Scopus、CINAHL、Embase、SPORTDiscus和科学引文索引核心合集进行检索。将通过搜索灰色信息来源、手工检索参考文献列表以及与该领域专家交流来查找关于该主题的灰色文献。两名评审员将独立进行检索结果的筛选、研究的选择和质量评估以及数据提取。在选择和质量评估步骤中，将寻求第三位评审员的协助以解决任何分歧。在评估所选研究的质量和一致性后，将使用预先制作的数据收集表进行数据提取。本综述将采用叙述性综合方法来分析原始研究中的证据。
拟议的综述将总结不同人群中孕妇对孕产妇体育活动知识水平的证据，并描述区域间差异。该研究将找出知识水平较低的重点地区，并确定需要关注的知识要素。
