Physical activity and exercise in pregnancy are generally beneficial and enhance the physical and mental health of women. These benefits also prevent excessive weight gain and reduce risks of obesity in pregnancy, such as gestational diabetes, hypertensive disorders, higher rates of caesarean delivery, macrosomia and stillbirth. Thus, there is a need to optimise perinatal exercise and physical activity globally. There is currently no consensus recommendation on the role of physical activity and exercise in pregnancy and the postpartum period in the Asia-Pacific region. In this paper, we present seven key consensus recommendations on physical activity and exercise in pregnancy and the postpartum period by 18 key members representing 10 countries in Asia-Pacific regions during an international workshop of the Asia Diabetes in Pregnancy Conference in Singapore on 11–12 January 2020. Through these consensus recommendations, we hope to improve the metabolic health of pregnant women living in Asia-Pacific regions by educating the public and guiding healthcare professionals on the safety and importance of physical exercise and activity to benefit pregnant women and after childbirth. Data are available upon reasonable request.

亚太地区关于怀孕和产后体育锻炼的共识

怀孕期间的体育锻炼和运动通常是有益的，可以增强妇女的身心健康。这些好处还可以防止体重过度增加，并降低妊娠肥胖的风险，例如妊娠糖尿病，高血压疾病，更高的剖腹产率，巨大儿和死产。因此，有必要在全球范围内优化围产期运动和体育锻炼。目前尚无关于在亚太地区怀孕和产后身体活动和锻炼的作用的共识性建议。在本文中，在2020年1月11日至12日于新加坡举行的亚洲糖尿病怀孕大会国际研讨会上，我们代表18个主要亚太地区国家的18名主要成员就怀孕和产后的身体活动和锻炼提出了七个关键的共识性建议。这些共识性建议，我们希望通过对公众进行教育并指导医疗保健专业人员进行体育锻炼和活动对孕妇和分娩后的安全性和重要性，从而改善居住在亚太地区的孕妇的代谢健康。可根据合理要求提供数据。我们希望通过对公众进行教育并指导医疗保健专业人员进行有益于孕妇和分娩的体育锻炼和活动的安全性和重要性，从而改善生活在亚太地区的孕妇的代谢健康。可根据合理要求提供数据。我们希望通过对公众进行教育并指导医疗保健专业人员进行有益于孕妇和分娩的体育锻炼和活动的安全性和重要性，从而改善生活在亚太地区的孕妇的代谢健康。可根据合理要求提供数据。
