Postpartum physical activity (PA) is an important component of the woman's health. Recently, more attention has been paid to develop guidance for safe return to PA after delivery, including return to running. Little is known about when women start PA after delivery and what type of PA they are practicing.

This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to identify a 'normative' sympathetic response to isometric handgrip and post-exercise circulatory occlusion. Structured searches of databases were performed until June 2024. We included all primary studies (other than systematic reviews and meta-analyses), and inclusion criteria were: population (all populations); intervention (isometric handgrip and post-exercise circulatory occlusion); comparator (baseline); and outcome (MSNA).

Background: Weight stigma is a commonly reported experience in maternity care that negatively impacts the health of mothers and their babies. Knowledge to inform weight stigma reduction efforts in antenatal care is urgently required. This study aimed to co-design weight stigma reduction resources in antenatal care and evaluate clinician perspectives of the resources regarding their relevance to practice, strengths, and areas for improvement.

Department of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Medicine, Health and Sports, European University of Madrid, Villaviciosa de Odón, Madrid, 28670, Spain.
Introduction: The postpartum period involves significant biomechanical changes that impact maternal health, particularly in the activation of the transversus abdominis (TrA) and the inter-recti distance (IRD), which may contribute to lumbo-pelvic pathologies. While lumbopelvic exercises are beneficial, it remains unclear whether upper or lower limb adduction combined with forced expiration is more effective in activating the TrA. Therefore, the primary objective of this study is to analyze changes in TrA thickness and IRD during four conditions.

Objective: To establish expert consensus on prescreening and contraindications to moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) during the first year postpartum.
Methods: A Delphi survey of clinical and exercise professionals working with postpartum women and people was conducted until consensus was reached (≥75% agreement). Round I consisted of questions about relative and absolute contraindications to MVPA.
