Aerobic Exercise on Prenatal Sleep Quality and Maternal-fetal Attachment

"The program incorporated modified yoga movements suitable for pregnant women. The DVD provides an illustration with the written caption, Please take enough water before exercise, and wear loose and comfortable clothes in a suitable environment. If you feel tired, stop exercising immediately. The DVD's narrator then says, Now you are ready to prepare a comfortable, solid chair with a chair back. With a soft musical background, the exercise actions were arranged in following order: warm-up → neck → shoulder → arm → chest → waist →leg → regulating the breathing. The first 14.5 minutes of the yoga exercises were performed in a sitting position, followed by 3.5 minutes in standing position, and then returning to 2 minutes in sitting position. The exercises were developed as a progressive program in order to achieve the goals of strength-conditioning, moderate-intensity exercise (ACOG, 2015)."
