Description
Summary:A one-day workshop on promotion of physical activity in pregnancy for exercise professionals was delivered during 2021, to 137 participants. The main aim of this workshop was to motivate and prepare exercise professionals for promoting physical activity and implementing prenatal exercise programs, in their respective private or public fitness centers or other physical activity settings. The contents of the workshop were focused on six topics based on the "Pregnancy and Postpartum Exercise Specialist" educational standards by EuropeActive and the "Exercise and Physical Activity during Pregnancy and Postpartum" textbook published by Springer. Participants provided feedback on the effectiveness and satisfaction with the workshop. Overall evaluations from the feedback forms showed that majority of the participants agreed that the workshop achieved its objectives with a major recommendation as to the organization of more short duration workshops, the inclusion of practical sessions, and the separation of the contents addressing the postpartum period. The workshop on promotion of physical activity in pregnancy for exercise professionals was successfully organized and the participants are looking forward for future ones.
