الوصف: Aim This systematic review aimed to assess the effects of exercise training during pregnancy and the postpartum period on maternal vascular health and blood pressure (BP) Methods The outcome of interest were pulse wave velocity (PWV), flow-mediated dilation (FMD), and BP from pregnancy until 1-year postpartum. Five databases, including Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library, were systematically searched from inception to August 2023. Studies of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the effects of prenatal or postpartum exercise to a non-exercise control group were included. The risk of bias and the certainty of evidence were assessed. Random-effects meta-analyses and sensitivity analyses were conducted. Results In total, 20 RCTs involving 1,221 women were included. Exercise training, initiated from week 8 during gestation or between 6-14 weeks after delivery, with the program lasting for a minimum of 4 weeks up to 6 months, showed no significant impact on PWV and FMD. However, it resulted in a significant reduction in systolic BP (SBP) (MD: -4.37 mmHg; 95% CI: -7.48 to -1.26; p = 0.006) and diastolic BP (DBP) (MD: -2.94 mmHg; 95% CI: -5.17 to -0.71; p = 0.01) with very low certainty. Subgroup analyses revealed consistent trends across different gestational stages, types of exercise, weekly exercise times, and training periods. Conclusion Exercise training during pregnancy and the postpartum period demonstrates a favorable effect on reducing maternal BP. However, further investigations with rigorous methodologies and larger sample sizes are needed to strengthen these conclusions.
