Many people like to exercise in their daily lives, such as running or walking in the morning or evening, which not only enriches life but also benefits health. However, for pregnant women, the situation is special. Is it suitable to continue running in early pregnancy?
The safety of exercise during pregnancy is of great concern. Although there is no direct evidence indicating an absolute prohibition of running during pregnancy, it is recommended to choose relatively gentle exercise methods from the perspective of protecting pregnant women and fetuses.
If pregnant women insist on running, the following points need to be noted: – Adequate warm-up: During pregnancy, the body becomes more relaxed due to hormonal changes, insufficient warm-up may lead to muscle and joint injuries during exercise. – Professional equipment: Wear clothing designed for sports, such clothing is breathable and sweat-absorbent, which can reduce discomfort during exercise, and elastic fabric helps the body stretch flexibly. – Control intensity: During exercise, the heart rate should be kept below 140 beats per minute to avoid excessive pressure on blood vessels caused by accelerated blood circulation. – Short segments: It is recommended that pregnant women exercise for no more than 15 minutes each time, and then rest appropriately. This is different from regular fitness aimed at burning fat. Pregnancy exercise focuses on strengthening muscles, so it is necessary to avoid fatigue and rapid heartbeat.
In conclusion, running during pregnancy should be cautious and follow the principle of moderation to ensure safety.
