Abstract

An analysis of the literature whose main objective was to evaluate how the physical activity carried out by women in postpartum fatigue was carried out. A systematic review of research studies was carried out, fulfilling the criteria of the review protocol Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta- Analyzes (PRISMA).
We searched by applying the inclusion criteria in the following electronic databases; Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Cuiden; and in the Google Scholar search engine; Inverse searches have also been carried out through the bibliography from the articles found. We identified 2460 articles that met the  inclusion criteria. When carrying out a screening in duplicates, reading the title and abstract of the  identified articles, and subsequently an in-depth reading of the articles, 13 articles were included in the  present systematic review. Once the articles have been analyzed, the results show that there is a positive  elationship between physical activity during pregnancy or postpartum and the reduction of Postpartum  Fatigue levels.
