RESUMO

Objective: to evaluate the effect of moderate aerobic physical activity in water on fetal cardiotocographic patterns among sedentary pregnant women. Method: in a non-randomized controlled trial, 133 sedentary pregnant women performed water aerobics in a heated swimming pool, with cardiotocographic exam during 20 minutes before and after the exercise. The cardiotocographic patterns were analyzed pre and post exercise by intervals of gestational age (24-27, 28-31, 32-35 and 36-40 weeks). Student t and Wilcoxon, and McNemar tests were respectively used for numerical and categorical variables. Results: No significant variations were found in FHR, number of fetal movements (FM) and accelerations (A), ratio FM/A and presence of decelerations before and after water aerobics. The variability of FHR was significantly higher after exercise only in the gestational interval of 24-27 weeks. Conclusions: moderate physical activity in water is safe and not associated with significant alterations of fetal cardiotocographic patterns
