Pregnancy and Exercise
For most the benefits of remaining active during pregnancy outweigh the risks.
Contraindications listed on p. 290-91 in your book.
The FITT principles should be based on health and comfort. Encourage at least 3 days (if not most to all
days) of moderate intensity exercise at least 30 minutes in duration
Use the RPE scale Based either on a 1-10 scale or a 6-20 scale
Pregnancy and Exercise
Previously active women can typically continue to exercise throughout their pregnancy.
Avoid exercise in supine position after first trimester.
Take precautions to avoid heat injury. Limit exposure to falling and impact injury Joint laxity increases during pregnancy. Use care with resistance exercise. Avoid exercise where extremes in air
pressure occur. Be aware of body’s warning signs.

Prevention is Key
Weight-bearing exercise should be encouraged during the formative years in order to promote bone density.
During adulthood, exercise (combined with adequate nutrition) can be useful in maintaining bone density.
Resistance exercise and impact-loading activity are most useful in promoting bone density. Examples? What types of activities would you NOT
prescribe?
Exercise and the Female Athlete
Case Studies
What types of exercises would you recommend to a sedentary 52 year old woman with a family history of osteoporosis? She is in good health and does not have osteoporosis, but may suffer from osteopenia.
Case Studies
Deb is a 41 year old pregnant woman expecting her third child. She is extremely high risk, due not only to her age, but also to complications that she had in her other pregnancies. She had some spotting early on in this pregnancy which has now subsided. Before becoming pregnant she lost 60 lbs! She wants to maintain her fitness/weight loss during this pregnancy. How would you advise her?
