Physical activity in pregnant women and perinatal outcomes

Physical activity is any movement of the body. Therefore, when we run, walk or simply carry out a domestic activity, we are carrying out physical activity. This differs from physical exercise, which is performed at a certain frequency and for a certain duration. In view of this, this book asks whether physical activity can be dangerous for the baby. A study of pregnant women found that there was no association with prematurity and even less with the child's birth weight.
