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.

Changes in 24-Hour Movement Behaviors From Early to Late Pregnancy in Individuals With Prepregnancy Overweight or Obesity.
Sylvia E. Badon,Assiamira Ferrara,Kelley Pettee Gabriel,Lyndsay A. Avalos,Monique M. Hedderson +4 more
TL;DR: For example, this paper found that nulliparous and multiparous individuals with prepregnancy overweight or obesity both had high levels of SED, with no change across pregnancy, and may require interventions to reduce SED.

Rana F. Chehab,Assiamira Ferrara,Siwen Zheng,Dinesh Kumar Barupal,Amanda Ngo,Liwei Chen,Oliver Fiehn,Yeyi Zhu +7 more
TL;DR: This paper identified refined grain-related metabolites using multivariable linear regression and examined their prospective associations with GDM risk using conditional logistic regression, and further examined the predictivity of refined grain related metabolites selected by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression in the discovery set and validation set.

Women during Lactation Reduce Their Physical Activity and Sleep Duration Compared to Pregnancy
Gema Cabrera-Domínguez,María de la Calle,Gloria Herranz Carrillo,Santiago Ruvira,Pilar Rodríguez-Rodríguez,Silvia M. Arribas,David Ramiro-Cortijo +6 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that women are at higher risk of vulnerability in lactation compared to the gestation period, and the poorer sleep and physical activity, together with a lower social support of the woman, may lead to deficient mental health adjustment.
Pregnancy Outcomes and Maternal Insulin Sensitivity: Design and Rationale of a Multi-Center Longitudinal Study in Mother and Offspring (PROMIS).
TL;DR: The PRegnancy Outcomes and Maternal Insulin sensitivity (PROMIS) study as mentioned in this paper was designed to obtain detailed insights in insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism during pregnancy and its relation to pregnancy outcomes including early infancy growth.

TL;DR: The prevalence of leisure-time physical activity is low among Brazilian pregnant women, and current guidelines recommend it, but this population’s behavior does not seem to be changing.
