Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study examines (1) the extent and intensity of physical activity among women in different phases of their pregnancy and (2) the relationship between patterns of physical activity in pregnancy and well-being.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study examines physical activity in different phases of pregnancy using accelerometry. The recruitment of pregnant women (N=30) in the first or second trimester (until week 23) will be realized over different channels (e.g, local newspapers, facebook, and leaflets in gynecological practices, shopping centers, and nurseries).

Informed consent consists of: (i) activity recording over seven consecutive days using an accelerometer, (ii) completion of standardized questionnaires, (iii) participation in a cardiac ultrasound examination in the German Center for Cardiovascular Research (DZHK) - examination center.

Participants are asked to wear an accelerometer at daytime, and over seven consecutive days, in trimester 1 (week 9-12), trimester 2 (week 23-26), and trimester 3 (week 36-39). Women who are attended the study in the first trimester wear the device up to three time whereas those who are attended the study in their second trimester wear the device up to twice. At the end of each measurement period women are invited to fill in a self-administered questionnaire. Also they are invited to participate in a cardiac ultrasound examination. Optionally, participants may receive feedback on their physical activity measured by accelerometer as well as about results of cardiac ultrasound examination upon completion of the study.
