Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the life of the human being, a process similar to pregnancy and childbirth does not exist; this is due to the relevant quantity and quality of modifications in which the woman's body is involved during pregnancy.
Pregnancy is distinguished by a multitude of physiological, mental and emotional adjustments. Every organ system in the expectant mother are intimately involved in this complex process in order to create an optimal environment for the fetal development.
Movement restrictions and confinement caused by the COVID-19 pandemic significantly affect the lifestyle of pregnant population and can become a risk factor for different alterations and even pathologies.
The use of exercise as one of those preventive columns in general populations is sufficiently supported by scientific evidence; however, the efficacy of exercise in this prevention strategy during pregnancy is still poorly investigated.
