The Funtional Mama-Functional Training in Pregnancy


Book Description

A woman's body will change more in 9 months of pregnancy than a man's will in his lifetime, and she needs an exercise program to match the transformation. A mom to be will need to master strength, agility, balance, speed, acceleration, deceleration, directional change and rotation, all with load that increases everyday. For these reasons a "functional" fitness plan for an expectant woman may look different from a non pregnant person's gym routine. This guide helps new moms to comfortably perform the movements and tasks unique to a pregnant person, and how to be prepared for the birth experience and new role in a functional way.




Exercise and Sporting Activity During Pregnancy


Book Description

This clinically and practice oriented, multidisciplinary book is intended to fill the gap between evidence-based knowledge on the benefits of physical activity and exercise during pregnancy and the implementation of exercise programmes and related health promotion measures in pregnant women. It will provide medical, sports, and fitness professionals both with the knowledge needed to allay undue fears regarding the consequences of exercising during pregnancy and with the practical expertise to offer optimal guidance on exercising to pregnant exercisers and athletes. Readers will find up-to-date evidence on the psychological, social, physiological, body composition, musculoskeletal, and biomechanical changes that occur during pregnancy and their implications for physical activity and exercise. Detailed descriptions are provided of the components of exercise testing and prescription for pregnant women, the current evidence-based and practice-oriented guidelines, and exercise selection and adaptation during pregnancy. Exercises specifically targeting musculoskeletal health are discussed separately, and a concluding chapter explains the nutritional requirements in pregnant women who exercise.
