Abstract

Background/Aim: Physical activity during pregnancy assumes an important role in the health of both the pregnant and newborn. Our study aims to evaluate the effects of Pilates workouts on labor and newborn outcomes. Methods: This retrospective case control study was conducted with the nulliparous pregnant women admitted to our obstetrics clinic. We evaluated the effects of a Pilates workout program for 70-80 minutes per day, once a week for eight weeks, on the labor and newborn outcomes. We defined the labor outcomes as the type of delivery and the gestational age at delivery and the newborn outcomes as one-minute (APGAR-1) and five-minute Apgar scores (APGAR-5). Results: The incidences of episiotomy, vacuum-assisted vaginal delivery, and cesarean section (CS) were significantly lower in pregnant women who participated in Pilates workouts (P
