The role of sports practice in modulating physiological and psychological changes during pregnancy

Résumé

Pregnancy is considered an emotionally challenging experience filled with challenges related to growth, various changes, and fertility, especially for first-time mothers. The physiological changes that accompany pregnancy, along with hormonal disturbances, turn pregnancy into a psychological state where women face fear and expectations related to motherhood. Additionally, pregnant women may experience various psychological changes during different stages of pregnancy, which can intersect with their daily and social life patterns.

      This study aims to understand the role of exercise in modifying the physiological and psychological changes that accompany pregnancy, highlighting its positive impact. It also explores the recommended types of exercise during this period.
