The Claim
In healthy pregnant women with normal BMI, average moderate-to-vigorous physical activity during pregnancy remains below the recommended level of 54 minutes per week, even when structured exercise or motivational counseling interventions are implemented, indicating that poor adherence limits the potential benefits of these interventions.
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.
Even when pregnant women with a normal weight are given exercise programs or motivation tips, most still don't get enough physical activity during pregnancy — they're still moving less than the recommended amount each week.

What the research says
1 studyEven when pregnant women were given structured exercise programs or encouragement to be more active, they didn’t become significantly more active or healthier, which suggests most still didn’t meet the recommended activity levels.
