This Virtual Pop-Up will provide an evidence-based update on current literature related to exercise during pregnancy, with an emphasis on research published since the 2019 Canadian Guideline for Physical Activity Throughout Pregnancy and current ACOG recommendations.

Participants will explore emerging evidence on resistance training, high-intensity exercise, athletic participation, pelvic floor considerations, musculoskeletal adaptations, load management, and return-to-sport planning.
