Physical activity is widely recommended during pregnancy and across the cancer survivorship continuum; however, there is currently no existing guidance adequately addressing women who fall at the intersection of these contexts. This scoping review was aimed at mapping existing guidance on p…
From one birth to the next
Background: Cesarean section (CS) is a common surgical procedure in obstetrics, and its prevalence has been increasing globally. While the immediate outcomes of CS are well-documented, its long-term effects, particularly on maternal health, remain an area of active research.

Stress is not so bad—cortisol level and psychological functioning after 8-week Hiit program during pregnancy
Background: Amid extensive pregnancy exercise research, the impact of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) on pregnant women's mental health is underexplored.

Methods: We conducted a randomized control trial among 38 Caucasian w…
