| A large number of studies have shown no association during pregnancy between physical activity and gestational age, risk of preterm delivery, or intrauterine growth. The results of the few studies that have investigated the possible association between physical activity during pregnancy and the type of delivery suggest a reduced risk of cesarean delivery in pregnant women who exercise regularly. However, no randomized, controlled exercise training trials in large population samples have investigated this possible relationship. This randomized, controlled trial assessed the effects of a supervised maternal exercise training program conducted during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy on the type of delivery (normal, instrumental, or cesarean) and on dilation, expulsion, and childbirth time. Healthy pregnant sedentary women were assigned randomly to either to a program consisting of supervised light-intensity resistance training and toning or a control group (n = 80 each). No significant difference between the 2 groups was found in the percentage of women with normal, instrumental, or cesarean delivery (training: 70.8%, 13.9%, and 15.3%, respectively, and control: 71.4%, 12.9%, and 15.7%, respectively) (all P > 0 0.1). There was also no difference between the groups in the mean dilation, expulsion, and childbirth time (all P > 0.1). The investigators conclude from these findings that supervised resistance and toning exercise training conducted during the second and third trimester of pregnancy does not affect the type of delivery or the mean dilation, expulsion, and childbirth time in previously sedentary pregnant women. | |
