Is exercising vigorously in the third trimester of pregnancy safe for either the mother or the baby? Is there a difference between vigorous and moderate exercise or not doing exercise at all? What does the current research say? In this interview, Dr. Kassia Beetham explains her newest systematic review and meta-analysis on this topic.
Dr. Kassia Beetham is a lecturer at the Sports Performance, Recovery, Injury and New Technologies (SPRINT) Research Centre at the Australian Catholic University. Her areas of expertise include the effects of higher-intensity exercise during pregnancy on fetal outcomes, the impact of high-impact exercise on postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction, and the prevalence and effects of higher-intensity exercise and resistance training in pregnant athletes.
Enjoy!
