Educational Program on Exercise During Pregnancy

This study aims to evaluate whether a short educational session about safe therapeutic exercise during pregnancy can improve knowledge, confidence, and physical activity levels in pregnant women. Although exercise during pregnancy is safe and beneficial, many women have doubts or lack information about how to exercise correctly. This can lead to low physical activity levels during pregnancy. In this pilot randomized controlled trial, pregnant women attending primary care health centers will be invited to participate. After completing baseline questionnaires, participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The control group will receive standard prenatal information provided during routine care. The experimental group will receive standard care plus a structured educational session about therapeutic exercise during pregnancy. Participants will complete questionnaires measuring knowledge about exercise during pregnancy, confidence to exercise safely, and physical activity levels before the intervention and two weeks afterward. The study is educational only. No mandatory physical exercise is required, and usual medical care will not be modified. The results will help determine whether brief educational interventions can support healthier lifestyles during pregnancy.
