Abstract:
We investigated the association between physical activity (PA) before pregnancy and pregnancy rate according to intensity and amount of exercise. Eleven prospective cohort studies were included in this meta-analysis. Any amount of moderate-intensity PA was associated with a statistically higher rate of pregnancy compared to that in patients with no PA (p < .05). Any amount of vigorous PA was associated with decreased pregnancy rate; regular PA was associated with decreased infertility (p > .05). In contrast, vigorous PA was associated with increased infertility (p > .05). Therefore, women who are preparing for pregnancy are recommended to perform regular, moderate-intensity PA.

Rate-Determining Steps
In a multistep reaction mechanism, one of the elementary steps progresses significantly slower than the others. This slowest step is called the rate-limiting step (or rate-determining step). A reaction cannot proceed faster than its slowest step, and hence, the rate-determining step limits the overall reaction rate.
The concept of rate-determining step can be understood from the analogy of a 4-lane freeway with a short-stretch of traffic-bottleneck caused due to...
