El objetivo del estudio fue analizar los beneficios del ejercicio físico en la calidad de vida de las mujeres durante el período gestacional. Se realizó una revisión integradora a partir de artículos científicos en las bases Biblioteca Virtual en Salud (BVS), Scopus y SciELO. Se identificaron 20 artículos publicados entre 2020 y 2025 que presentaron programas de intervención para mujeres durante el período gestacional mediante ejercicios físicos. Se verificó que la mayoría de las intervenciones en gestantes se realizaron entre la 5ª y la 21ª semana de gestación. Entre los ejercicios físicos más practicados destacaron las caminatas leves y moderadas, además del yoga, que también fue frecuente. La aplicación de programas de ejercicio físico durante el período gestacional presentó efectos positivos sobre el estado nutricional, el nivel glucémico, la salud cardiovascular, la salud mental, la calidad del sueño y la reducción de complicaciones en el parto. El estudio concluyó que el ejercicio físico aporta importantes beneficios para la salud física, mental y para la calidad de vida de las mujeres durante el período gestacional.
