Comparative Study Of Physical Fitness In Postpartum Females Of Urban And Rural Areas
Keywords:
postpartum fitness, urban vs rural, physical activity, maternal health
Abstract
This study examines the differences in physical fitness levels between postpartum females from urban and rural areas. Cardiovascular endurance, muscle strength, flexibility, and body composition were assessed. Urban women exhibited better fitness levels due to improved healthcare access and socio-environmental support. The findings underscore the need for tailored interventions to improve postpartum recovery in rural areas.
