Dear [Name],
We are pleased to announce the following webinar from our Special Interest Group on Physical Activity in Pregnancy and Postpartum (PAPP) in collaboration with the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM).
How to exercise for the health of future generations? – Global, evidence-based promotion of physical activity during pregnancy and postpartum
Date: Wednesday, 26 February 2025
Time: 15:30-17:00 (CET)
Area: Sports & Exercise Medicine & Health (MH)
Chairs: Assoc Prof Anna Szumilewicz, PhD
Speakers: Prof Linda May; Assoc Prof Rita Santos-Rocha, PhD; Prof Piotr Sieroszewski; Assoc Prof Rafael A. Caparros-Gonzalez, PhD
The webinar will present the results of multidisciplinary research explaining the impact of various exercise programmes on the health of mothers and children.
Based on high impact projects such as ‘ENHANCED by Mom’ from the United States, ‘The Active Pregnancy’ from Portugal and Poland’s ‘The NEPPE’ and ‘HIIT Mama’, the webinar will show how scientific knowledge can shape practical guidelines for pregnant and postpartum populations, health and exercise professionals.
Some of the key topics include the European educational standard ‘Exercise in pregnancy and postpartum’ developed by an international group of experts affiliated with EuropeActive.
The ACSM ‘Special Interest Group for Pregnancy and Postpartum’ will demonstrate the good practice of how to attract various stakeholders to strengthen the potential of international cooperation in this field.
Aiming at an interdisciplinary approach, two special guests outside from exercise science but being experts on their field will join the discussion on identifying research gaps and necessary actions for the global and innovative promotion of physical activity during pregnancy and postpartum.
