The findings of this study show that the prevalence of physical activity decreased with the condition
of pregnancy. Half of the women stopped exercising due to pregnancy, with an even
lower prevalence at the beginning and the end of pregnancy. Among women who exercised,
walking was the most common type of activity. Factors associated with exercise during pregnancy
included high educational level, primiparity, physical activity before pregnancy, and
guidance on exercise during prenatal visits. Physical exercise did not affect maternal and perinatal
outcomes.
