Abstract

The study focused on physical activities of pregnant women. It was revealed that 76.0% of pregnant women perform some physical activity, which is highly positive finding. Pregnant women stated that they usually do exercise alone at home or outdoor (70, 0 % of women who do some kind of physical activity). There were 24% of women who do not perform any exercise; the most common reason was defined as health problems (33.3% of those who do not do any exercise) or lack of time (this was written by 25.0% of those who do not do any exercise). The most typical physical activity was walking, swimming, ball exercise and compensation exercise. Most women perform their favorite sport activity 2 – 3 times per week, which was reported by 60.5 % of those who actively do some sport. Absolute majority of women (97.4% of respondents) is persuaded about positive influence of performed activity on their dealing with pregnancy and coming childbirth, which is also considered as very positive finding.

Abstract (in Czech)

Předložená práce byla zaměřena na zjištění pohybových aktivit u těhotných žen. Bylo zjištěno, že některé pohybové aktivitě se věnuje 76,0 % žen, což je potěšující zjištění. Dotázané těhotné ženy uvedly, že nejčastěji cvičí samy (70,0 % z počtu žen, které uvedly, že se pohybovým aktivitám věnují) doma nebo venku. Důvodem, proč 24,0 % dotázaných žen necvičí, jsou nejčastěji zdravotní potíže (takto odpovědělo 33,3 % z žen, které deklarovaly, že se pohybovým aktivitám nevěnují) nebo nedostatek času (toto napsalo 25,0 % žen z těch, které necvičí). Nejčastěji prováděnými pohybovými aktivitami jsou procházky, plavání, cvičení s míčem a kompenzační cvičení. Oblíbeným sportovním aktivitám se oslovené ženy věnují nejčastěji 2 – 3x denně, jak uvedlo 60,5 % žen z těch, které se pohybovým aktivitám věnují. Pozitivním zjištěním byl rovněž fakt, že naprostá většina žen (97,4 % dotázaných) je přesvědčena, že jim provozovaná pohybová aktivita pomáhá lépe zvládnout těhotenství i případně nastávající porod.
