Over the past thirty years, scientific studies have shown the benefits of physical activity for pregnant women and their babies. However, only about one in five women in France engage in physical activity or sport during pregnancy. This can be explained by a lack of information from perinatal professionals who often do not know what type of exercise to recommend or how to support pregnant women in their practice of physical activity. Written by two experts in physical and sports activities in the perinatal period, this book is intended for sports doctors, general practitioners, midwives and obstetricians, as well as sports educators.
