Question 7 • Lifetime Fitness 11th Grade EL2083 B – 202701

Which of the following statements about exercising during pregnancy is TRUE?

Answer
A
Pregnant women should not exercise at very high altitudes.
B
Women should not exercise during pregnancy.
C
Pregnant women should get 2 hours of vigorous exercise a week.
D
During pregnancy, women should exercise in a supine position.

Explanation

The true statement is that pregnant women should avoid exercising at very high altitudes, particularly if they are not acclimated, because reduced oxygen availability can pose risks. Exercise is generally encouraged during an uncomplicated pregnancy, but the usual recommendation is about 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity per week—not 2 hours of vigorous exercise. Women should also avoid prolonged exercise while lying flat on their backs later in pregnancy.
