Therapeutic gymnastic: Effects on the quality of life at two months in postpartum period

The structured training program at the third trimester of pregnancy (24th : T1 to 36th week) essentially centred on the trunk fitness allows benefice on the quality of life (QoL) measured by using the questionnaire (SF36). At postpartum period (T2 after 2 months in postpartum), the comparison between the control group (CG) vs training group (TG) show that all the items of (SF36) increase in (TG) while they decrease in (CG). In consequence, all the items of the SF36 were more important in TG at T2 compared with CG. The benefice in QoL seems more important than in others studies. Even if more studies are necessary, we conclude that centred the physical activity on trunk fitness during the third trimester pregnancy seems promising.
