Safe Exercise in Pregnancy & Postpartum | Margie Davenport
Today I speak with Margie Davenport, an Associate Professor, Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation in the University of Alberta. As a former national team athlete, her recent work has examined elite sport participation during pregnancy, and return to sport following delivery. This line of research aims to develop more inclusive guidelines and policies for elite pregnant/postpartum athletes.
Her principal research interest is the investigation of maternal-fetal health outcomes, and an exploration of the preventative role of exercise and/or lifestyle interventions in the development of chronic disease.
We talk about:
🔹different types of exercise during pregnancy
🔹birth injuries
🔹energy deficiency during low estrogen times
🔹when to talk about research
🔹peer reviewed research explained
🔹gap between postpartum and perimenopause
🔹load in exercise
🔹upcoming Canadian guidelines
