It started at week 16 after labour and ended at postpartum week 28. Women followed a moderate intensity workout programme, using the Low-Pressure Fitness methodology in the treatment group, and we had a control group of sedentary women to perform a comparison. We used the SF-36v2 questionnaire at the postpartum weeks 16 and 28 to assess the Health-Related Quality of Life in women.ResultsWe found statistically significant differences (p<0.05) in general health components, vitality, emotional role, and mental health in the sample group of women under the Low-Pressure Fitness, who obtained a higher score. We found statistically significant differences in all aspects between the postpartum weeks 16 and 28.
