In the landscape of public health, chronic diseases and mental health issues present increasing challenges, particularly for women of reproductive age. Recent trends point to a growing recognition of physical activity’s benefits, suggesting a pivotal role in improving health outcomes related to pregnancy and maternal health. Yet, the incorporation of such activities as therapeutic interventions in clinical settings remains underutilized and poorly explored. This gap highlights the need for a deeper understanding of how regular exercise could benefit women during pregnancy and subsequently, infant health outcomes.
This Research Topic aims to delve into the multifaceted impacts of physical activity on health outcomes specifically tailored for women of reproductive age. The primary focus will encompass pregnancy-related benefits, aiming to illuminate how exercise can serve as a preventive tool against pregnancy complications, aid in recovery postpartum, and enhance overall quality of life. By amalgamating innovative research with practical approaches, the goal is to forge a foundation of evidence-based recommendations that advocate for the integration of structured exercise programs into clinical practices, optimizing health prospects for women and their infants.
To gather further insights in this pivotal field of women's health, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
• Exploring the impact of physical activity on maternal and fetal health during pregnancy, including effects on labor, delivery, and postpartum recovery.
• Examining the benefits of exercise in preventing preeclampsia and reducing the risk of postpartum depression and other mental health issues.
• Investigating physical activity’s influence on infant health outcomes, such as birth weight and developmental milestones.
These contributions will enrich our understanding and potentially revolutionize the clinical incorporation of exercise into healthcare protocols for women, thus promoting healthier outcomes for both mothers and their infants through informed and adaptive interventions.
