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.

Pre- and Postnatal Women's Leisure Time Physical Activity Patterns: A Multilevel Longitudinal Analysis
Anita G Cramp,Steven R. Bray +1 more
TL;DR: Growth curve estimates for the linear, quadratic, and cubic trends were significant, indicating that LTPA declined during pregnancy but then increased following birth, and the results demonstrated that the individual trajectories of LTPA varied substantially from the average growth curve.

TL;DR: Poor diet quality in pregnancy was associated with higher birthweight and increased risk of LGA independent of maternal obesity and other covariates, and substitution of empty calories with whole grains may mitigate the risk of excess fetal growth.

TL;DR: The design and methodology of the first Mother and Infant Study Cohort in UAE is described, the baseline demographic characteristics of the study participants are presented, and the challenges of the cohort and their respective responding strategies are discussed.
Assessing Community Participation: Comparing Self-Reported Participation Data with Organizational Attendance Records.
TL;DR: This study compares responses on a community participation scale designed to retrospectively assess community participation with individual participants' attendance records in various social action organizing activities over two 1-year periods to find the self-reported measure is positively, but weakly correlated with actual participation levels in community organizing activities.

TL;DR: In this paper, the validity of the CSA activity monitor as a measure of children's physical activity using energy expenditure (EE) as a criterion measure was evaluated using three 5-min treadmill bouts at 3, 4, and 6 mph.
