5. Conclusions
This study affirmed that pregnant women are prone to low sleep quality and high SED, which worsens as pregnancy progresses. Pregnant women who received structured supervised exercise training had better sleep quality and less SED than pregnant women receiving standard prenatal care when self-reported. When measured by the consumer activity tracker, no differences were observed between groups. In an online setting, due to COVID-19 restrictions, SED was increased among pregnant women who received the EXE intervention. In conclusion, interventions that increase PA levels might improve sleep quality and decrease SED in pregnant women. Future behavioral interventions targeting pregnant women should include evidence-based content to improve sleep quality and reduce SED.
