The Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group trials register was searched. One reviewer assessed trial quality and extracted data. Study authors were contacted for additional information. The trials were not of high methodologic quality. Three trials reported significant improvement in physical fitness in the exercise group, although differences in measures used to assess fetuses prevent a quantitative pooling of results.
Available data are insufficient to exclude important risks or benefits for the mother or infant.
