Abstract

Abstract : The consequences of pregnancy need to be investigated in elite athletes and women in arduous occupations. Abstract : Best-practice guidance and management of pregnant and postpartum elite athletes and women in arduous occupations is limited by the lack of high-quality evidence available within these populations. We have summarized the adaptations and implications of pregnancy and childbirth, proposed a novel integrative concept to address these changes, and made recommendations to progress research in this area.
