The Claim
Supervised strength training during pregnancy likely improves muscle strength and cardiorespiratory fitness, with measurable gains in upper body strength and aerobic capacity, contributing to better functional mobility and reduced physical strain.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Doing guided strength exercises while pregnant can help make your muscles stronger and your heart and lungs work better, which makes daily activities easier and less tiring.
