The Effect of Physical Exercise After Childbirth

Официальное название

The Effect of Physical Exercise on Sleep Quality, Quality of Life and Fatigue in Postpartum Women

Обзор

Postpartum women are recommended to engage in physical activity including moderate intensity aerobic and strengthening exercises for at least 150 minutes within one week. The benefits of postpartum exercise include strengthening abdominal muscles, increasing energy, preventing postpartum depression, reducing stress, improving sleep quality and losing excess weight gained during pregnancy. However, activity levels of women who have given birth are reported to be very low, despite the great benefits of exercise on physical and mental health. In a meta-analysis, it was stated that exercise can be used for counseling and therapeutic purposes to improve postpartum quality of life and reduce fatigue.
