Objective: To investigate scientific evidence in the literature regarding the impact of regular physical activity during a normal-risk pregnancy on the progression of labor, taking into account the type, frequency, and intensity of the exercises performed.  Methodology: A systematic literature review was conducted in the PubMed, CAPES Journal Portal, and Virtual Health Library (VHL) databases, including studies published between 2016 and 2026 in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. The selection of studies followed the stages of identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion, in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria and reviewing titles, abstracts, and full-text articles, 38 articles were included in the final analysis.  Results: The analyzed studies indicate that regular physical activity during pregnancy is associated with a higher prevalence of vaginal delivery, a possible reduction in the duration of labor, and a lower need for obstetric interventions, such as epidural analgesia and cesarean section. No evidence was found of an increased risk of vaginal laceration or adverse events related to exercise, even at moderate to controlled intensities.  Conclusion: Regular physical activity during a low-risk pregnancy is safe and potentially beneficial for the progression of labor, contributing to more favorable obstetric outcomes. The systematic incorporation of exercise guidance into prenatal care, in an individualized and supervised manner, is recommended as a strategy for promoting maternal and neonatal health.
