Abstract(s)
O período de gravidez é uma janela fisiológica única, na qual ocorrem diversas
adaptações no corpo da mulher e, que são necessárias para garantir o normal
desenvolvimento e bem-estar do feto. De acordo com a evidência científica, a
atividade física pré-natal, realizada de acordo com as recomendações,
apresenta benefícios no que diz respeito a aspetos fisiológicos, psicológicos e
para a saúde da mulher e do feto.
Embora existam várias investigações sobre exercício na gravidez, as mulheres
continuam desinformadas acerca deste tema e são poucas as que praticam
atividade física nesta fase.
A fase de gravidez é a condição médica com o maior número de aplicações
móveis disponíveis. No entanto, as aplicações móveis projetadas
especificamente para aumentar a atividade física durante a gravidez são
escassas, e as que existem não consideram as diretrizes atuais de atividade
física.
Este trabalho teve os seguintes objetivos: elaboração de uma revisão narrativa
sobre avaliação e prescrição de exercício físico (estudo 1) e um estudo
transversal para a criação de uma aplicação informática, intitulada de gravidez
ativa – promoção de estilo de vida saudável durante a gravidez e pós-parto
(estudo 2) com o objetivo de identificar as necessidades e preferências das
grávidas quanto à criação de uma aplicação móvel.
Pregnancy is a unique physiological phase in which various adaptations that ensure the normal development and wellbeing of the fetus occur in the woman’s body. According to scientific evidence, prenatal physical activity that is practiced according to the appropriate recommendations benefits both the fetus’ and the woman’s physiological, psychological and health conditions. Even though there are multiple research results about exercise during pregnancy, women are still misinformed about this practice, and very few perform physical activity during this phase. Pregnancy is the medical condition that has the largest available number of mobile apps. Despite this, mobile apps that are specifically designed to increase physical activity during pregnancy are scarce, and those who do focus on such objective do not follow the current physical activity guidelines. This work has the following objectives: elaborate a literature review about the evaluation and prescription of physical exercise (study 1) and about a cross sectional study on the development of a mobile app dedicated to active pregnancy – promotion of a healthy lifestyle during pregnancy and postpartum (study 2) with the aim of identifying the needs and preferences of pregnant women regarding the development of a mobile app.
