* [Background] *
We aim to create a society in which women can balance work and sports while experiencing life events such as pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare, and a society in which women can achieve who they want to be. To this end, experts from various professions in the obstetrics and exercise fields (doctors, midwives, nurses, physical therapists, instructors, coaches, athletic trainers, therapists, registered dietitians, etc.) will work together to provide support for prenatal and postnatal care. We decided to hold this symposium because we believe it is essential to have a multifaceted discussion on the issues and needs faced by women.
How you spend your pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum period has a major impact on your subsequent healthy life. There is a lot of information out there, mainly on SNS, such as “prenatal and postnatal training” and “postnatal diet,” but when it comes to the exercise that women need before and after childbirth based on medical science, there is not much accurate knowledge and skills that are widely available. I haven’t.
This symposium will discuss the challenges and needs faced by women before and after childbirth, and provide an opportunity for
participants to acquire practical knowledge and skills.
