Abstract in brief

  • The study analyzed whether exercise during pregnancy affects the risk of preterm birth in normal-weight women and found that women who exercised did not have a higher or lower risk of delivering before 37 weeks compared to those who did not exercise.
  • The researchers reviewed data from multiple sources and included only high-quality randomized trials involving women who started aerobic exercise before 23 weeks of pregnancy, with the exercise lasting about 35-90 minutes, 3-4 times weekly.
  • Overall, the findings suggest that safe aerobic exercise during pregnancy does not increase the risk of preterm birth or significantly change the timing of delivery for normal-weight women with uncomplicated pregnancies.
