Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Objectives:\[The goal is\] to confirm if physical activity of medium intensity performed during gestation can influence the way of delivery, and observe the adherence to exercise among pregnant women with different education levels. Methods: Held at the Center for Breastfeeding Incentive in the city of São Sebastião, State of São Paulo (Brazil), between April 7, 2008 and April 14, 2009, the prospective study involved 66 primigravid women, who were divided into two groups: the exercise group (GE) that exercised regularly during pregnancy, and the other control group (GC) that did not exercise regularly during same period. The significance level adopted in this study was five per cent (p = 0.05).

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* sedentary women,
* ages between 18 and 30,
* gestation age superior to 18 weeks without clinical or obstetrical complications
Exclusion Criteria
The volunteers in the CG couldn't have performed regular physical activity during pregnancy. In both groups, the participants hadn't performed regular physical activity in the year prior to the pregnancy.
However, 31 women were discarded during the research: three for miscarriage, being two from the GE and one from the GC; one from the GE for anemia; one from the GC for pre-eclampsia; two for loss of contact after birth, being one from each group; 11 from the GE for not reaching the minimum frequency; seven claimed personal reasons for leaving the research, being five from the GC and two from the GE; and six participants abandoned the study.
