Abstract: CHASAN-TABER, L., M. D. SCHMIDT, D. E. ROBERTS, D. HOSMER, G. MARKENSON, and P. S. FREEDSON. Development and Validation of a Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 36, No. 10, pp. 1750 –1760, 2004. Purpose: The effect of physical activity during pregnancy on maternal and fetal health remains controversial and studies have yet to identify the optimal dose of physical activity associated with favorable pregnancy outcomes. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a pregnancy physical activity questionnaire (PPAQ). Methods: To ascertain the type, duration, and frequency of physical activities performed by pregnant women, three 24-h physical activity recalls were administered to 235 ethnically diverse prenatal care patients at a large tertiary care facility in western Massachusetts. The relative contribution of each activity to between-person variance in energy expenditure was used to establish the list of activities for the PPAQ. The PPAQ is self-administered and asks respondents to report the time spent participating in 32 activities including household/caregiving, occupational, sports/exercise, transportation, and inactivity. To validate the PPAQ, 54 pregnant women completed the PPAQ and then wore a Manufacturing Technology, Inc. actigraph for the following 7 d. At the end of the 7-d period, the PPAQ was repeated. Results: Intraclass correlation coefficients used to measure reproducibility of the PPAQ were 0.78 for total activity, 0.82 for moderate activity, 0.81 for vigorous activity, and ranged from 0.83 for sports/exercise to 0.93 for occupational activity. Spearman correlations between the PPAQ and three published cut points used to classify actigraph data ranged from 0.08 to 0.43 for total activity, 0.25 to 0.34 for vigorous activity, 0.20 to 0.49 for moderate activity, and 0.08 to 0.22 for light-intensity activity. Correlations were higher for sports/exercise and occupational activities as compared to household/caregiving activities. Conclusions: The PPAQ is a reliable instrument and a reasonably accurate measure of a broad range of physical activities during pregnancy.

TL;DR: This cross-sectional study in Saudi Arabia found that nearly two-thirds of pregnant women experienced depression, anxiety, or stress, with higher physical activity levels associated with reduced symptoms, highlighting the importance of tailored interventions.

TL;DR: Results from this large study suggest that ethnic group attachment is associated with some lifestyle behaviors, independent of acculturation indicators, among young women with GDM who are at high risk for type 2 diabetes.
Physical Activity in Pregnancy: Women's Perceptions, Practices, and Influencing Factors
Jane Cioffi,Virginia Schmied,Hannah G Dahlen,Annie Mills,Charlene Thornton,Margaret Duff,Joanne Cummings,Gregory S. Kolt +7 more
TL;DR: The process of engagement in physical activity by women was shown to have three marked phases: "uncertainty," "engaging," and "compromise."

TL;DR: Inverse associations were found between gestational weight gain and physical activity (i.e. intensities and several domains), whereas gestationalWeight gain tended to increase with longer sitting time, therefore, being physically active and less sedentary is important to regulate weight gain during pregnancy.
