Globally, the participation rate in antenatal exercises varies, with studies showing only 15–30%ofpregnant women engage in regular prenatal physical activity,despite known benefits.Hence thefocus ofthis study was to evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge and practice regarding antenatal exercises among antenatal mothers in chigateri district hospital at Davnagere.
