Association of physical activity during pregnancy with labor and delivery in nulliparous patients
A nonlinear relationship between physical activity during pregnancy and duration of the first stage of labor ha been identified.When physical activity exceeds 142.28 MET-h•wk-1, each additional standard deviation reduces the first stage of labor by 149.85 minutes. Physical activity is not limited to exercise programs; daily activities such as cleaning, shopping, and walking to and from work are effective ways to increase energy expenditure and help individuals achieve the recommended level of physical activity.
