| As secondary aim: to find reliability and trustworthiness of the caliper (according to the examination of the gold standard - musculoskeletal ultrasound) measured in centimeters; increase in body satisfaction scores in the postpartum period (scores from 1 to 5 on Body Satisfaction Situational Scale, adapted from Hirata and Pilati, 2010); increase in scores related to "positive affect" and "life satisfaction" and reduction of scores related to "negative affect" and "dissatisfaction with life" in relation to psychological well-being of postpartum women (scores from 1 to 5 on Scale of Subjective Well-Being and Trocoli Albuquerque, 2004), reduction in signs of postpartum depression (maximum score of 30 on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale from Santos et al., 2007) reduction to below 13 points, find related improvement in body satisfaction (score increases), the psychological well-being (increase and / or reduction of scores) and reducing the signs of postpartum depression (reduction of score) with the practice of physical exercise; finding regarding the presence of bodily discomfort (sum of sites according to the map of the body segments of discomfort Corlett and Bishop, 1976) with non-postpartum exercises, find greater reduction abdominal diastasis (cm), greater psychological well-being (score of 1 to 5) and greater body satisfaction (score of 1 to 5) in the immediate postpartum period (exercises daily). | — |
