ABSTRACT
Existe evidencia que demuestra los beneficios de la práctica de actividad física (AF)/ejercicio para la madre después del parto. Sin embargo, este periodo posparto (PP) es, a menudo, una oportunidad perdida en el curso de la vida de las mujeres, para comenzar o reanudar la práctica de ejercicio físico, y obtener los grandes beneficios que esto les puede reportar. El objetivo de este artículo fue analizar los beneficios del ejercicio durante el PP; la prescripción de AF; las recomendaciones sobre el momento de reanudar su práctica; las barreras y facilitadores; el ejercicio físico realizado durante la lactancia materna; así como su papel en las enfermedades y molestias más frecuentes en este periodo, teniendo siempre presente que la labor del médico de atención primaria resulta fundamental para motivar y alentar a las mujeres para que lo practiquen después del parto.

There is evidence that demonstrates the benefits of practicing physical activity/exercise for the mother after childbirth. However, this postpartum period (PP) is often a missed opportunity in a lifetime for women to start or resume physical exercise and get the great benefits that it can bring them. The objective of this article was to analyze the benefits of physical exercise during PP; the prescription of physical exercise; recommendations on when to resume your practice; barriers and facilitators; physical exercise during breastfeeding; as well as its role in the most frequent illnesses and discomforts in this period, always keeping in mind that the work of the primary care doctor is essential to motivate and encourage women to perform physical exercise in the PP.

ABSTRACT
La actividad física durante el embarazo promueve la salud materna, fetal y neonatal. Los beneficios para la salud de la actividad física prenatal incluyen un riesgo reducido de aumento de peso gestacional excesivo, diabetes gestacional, preeclampsia, complicaciones del parto, parto prematuro, complicaciones del recién nacido y depresión posparto. Las principales guías de actividad física/ejercicio durante el embarazo recomiendan que todas las mujeres embarazadas sin contraindicaciones médicas u obstétricas se mantengan activas físicamente durante la gestación, con el objetivo de conseguir beneficios para su salud y, al mismo tiempo, reducir la posibilidad de complicaciones durante el embarazo. Analizamos en este artículo lo que la medicina basada en la evidencia (MBE) indica con respecto al ejercicio físico y el embarazo. Para ello, nos basamos en las diferentes Revisiones Cochrane existentes, así como en las principales Guías de práctica clínica y Documentos de consenso (AU)
Physical activity during pregnancy promotes maternal, fetal and neonatal health. The health benefits of prenatal physical activity include a reduced risk of excess gestational weight gain, gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, labor complications, preterm labor, newborn complications, and postpartum depression. The main guidelines for physical activity/exercise during pregnancy recommend that all pregnant women without medical or obstetric contraindications, remain physically active during the gestation, in order to achieve benefits for their health and at the same time reduce the possibility of complications during pregnancy. We analyze in this article what evidence based medicine (EBM) indicates regarding physical exercise and pregnancy. To do this, we draw on the different existing Cochrane reviews, as well as on the main Clinical practice guidelines and Consensus documents (AU)
