Physical activity and mood during pregnancy
Article Abstract:
An attempt was made to compare three physical activity (PA) measures in pregnant women and examine mood correlates of physical activity changes during pregnancy. Evidence for the validity of the 7-d PAR and accelerometer as measures of physical activity in pregnancy were provided and found that health women who maintain an above average level of physical activity during second and third trimesters could enjoy mood stability.
