French Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire Compared with an Accelerometer Cut Point to Classify Physical Activity among Pregnant Obese Women
Given the high risk for inactivity during pregnancy in obese women, validated questionnaires for physical activity (PA) assessment in this specific population is required before evaluating the effect of PA on perinatal outcomes. No questionnaire was validated in pregnant obese women. The Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire (PPAQ) has been designed based on activities reported during pregn...
متن کاملPregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire.
We appreciate the interest of Brett et al. 1 in our Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire (PPAQ). 2 The highest priority in designing a questionnaire for epidemiologic practice is the ability of the questionnaire to rank individuals (i.e., to discriminate among individuals with respect to their physical activity) rather than to estimate their absolute energy expenditure. Therefore, in devel...
متن کاملAgreement between pedometer and accelerometer in measuring physical activity in overweight and obese pregnant women
BACKGROUND Inexpensive, reliable objective methods are needed to measure physical activity (PA) in large scale trials. This study compared the number of pedometer step counts with accelerometer data in pregnant women in free-living conditions to assess agreement between these measures. METHODS Pregnant women (n = 58) with body mass index ≥25 kg/m(2) at median 13 weeks' gestation wore a GT1M A...
متن کاملSelf-report Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire overestimates physical activity.
OBJECTIVES Physical activity (PA) research during pregnancy relies heavily on indirect/subjective measures of PA, which may be less accurate than directly measured PA. We tested whether the Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire (PPAQ) could accurately estimate PA by comparing PPAQ results to directly measured PA. METHODS In a sample of 29 women who completed the PPAQ, PA was directly meas...
متن کاملPhysical activity in pregnancy: a qualitative study of the beliefs of overweight and obese pregnant women
BACKGROUND Whilst there has been increasing research interest in interventions which promote physical activity during pregnancy few studies have yielded detailed insights into the views and experiences of overweight and obese pregnant women themselves. The qualitative study described in this paper aimed to: (i) explore the views and experiences of overweight and obese pregnant women; and (ii) i...
