Summary:•A greater volume and duration of prenatal exercise are associated with longer gestational length, improved neonatal health at birth, and reduced infant hospital stay in preterm deliveries.•Aiming for the recommended level of prenatal exercise dose is critical to improve neonatal health outcomes, even in preterm pregnancies. Preterm delivery typically increases health risk for neonates and is associated with longer infant hospital stay and financial burden. Prenatal exercise dose (frequency, intensity, type, time, volume) have been shown to influence birth outcomes. Increased prenatal exercise dose could therefore provide a critical reduction in health risk and financial burden in preterm neonates. It was our aim to explore the effects of prenatal exercise dose from a supervised exercise intervention in pregnant women on the occurrence of preterm (
