title: [Pregnancy and sports--physiologic considerations and practical examples].
abstract: Mothers-to-be expect practical and competent consulting from their obstetricians rather than orders or interdictions regarding their way of living. Particularly answering questions concerning physical activity and sports during pregnancy require profound knowledge on the physiological adaptations of the cardiopulmonary system and the anatomical structures and-on the other hand-on performance and sports' physiology. Resuming these alterations through pregnancy there result practical examples and proposals of physical activities in gestation as therapeutic and preventive measures. Moreover risks and contraindications are worked out.
