This module extends further into the world of female athletes and explores the fascinating intersection of pregnancy and sports, providing valuable insights into the unique challenges faced by athletic individuals during this transformative phase of life. We cover a wide range of topics, including calculating energy requirements, understanding increased nutrient needs, identifying unsafe foods, managing weight gain, and exploring the physiological changes that occur during pregnancy. Additionally, we review the up-to-date exercise guidelines for expectant mothers, empowering them to maintain a safe and active lifestyle. This module combines the worlds of athleticism and pregnancy in a way that is both educational and empowering for exercise physiologists working with this population.
