Abstract

Currently it is perceived lower practice of physical exercise during pregnancy. However, this active lifestyle´s adoption is not a priority in this period of the life cycle. Thus, it important to understand the beliefs behind this negative behavior, once physical exercise during pregnancy and after delivery provides many benefits for maternal and fetal health. Thus, the primary objective of this pilot study is draw an app, check viability an applicability to propose behavior modification related to physical activity in pregnant and postpartum women, based on the Theory of Planned Behavior and Self- Regulatory Theory. For this purpose, initially will be analyzed of the proximal determinants associated with intention and adoption of physical activity (attitude, subjective norms, and perceived control) and it will make adjustments in the proposed intervention, identifying potential variables for the change of intention and behavior. The database will enable further to verify the changes in the postpartum period and barriers to maintaining the practice. This tool could assist health promotion of physical exercise during pregnancy and after delivery in order to provide a healthy lifestyle. (AU)
