The problem of an inadequate level of physical activity (PA) is important in the context of its relationship with the quality of life (QoL) of pregnant women. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationships between PA and QoL among pregnant women.
The study analyzed 346 questionnaires filled in by pregnant women (157 in the second trimester and 189 in the third). The tool used for assessment of PA was the Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire-Polish version (PPAQ-PL). The quality of life (QoL) was assessed by the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire-short form (WHOQoL-Bref). The results obtained from the PPAQ-PL and WHOQoL-Bref questionnaires for women in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy and intergroup differences were analyzed.
There was a significant correlation in the group of women in the second trimester of pregnancy between quality of life in the and the intensity and type of physical activity. The women who rated their quality of life higher in this domain declared higher energy expenditures (EE) associated with ( = 0.159, ≤ 0.05), as well as with ( = 0.166; ≤ 0.05) and / activity ( = 0.187; ≤ 0.05). In women in the third trimester, higher EE related to / coincided with higher assessments of the ( = 0.149, ≤ 0.05) and ( = 0.170, ≤ 0.05). In the case of the ( = 0.161, ≤ 0.05) and ( = 0.188; ≤ 0.05) of QoL, positive correlations occurred with EE related to . In contrast, high assessment of coincided with higher EE related to ( = 0.174; ≤ 0.05).
Our study makes an important contribution to knowledge concerning the correlations between PA and QoL in pregnancy. The results suggest the need for improvement in prenatal care and promotion of PA programs for pregnant women.
体力活动（PA）水平不足是一个重要问题，因为它与孕妇的生活质量（QoL）有关。本研究旨在分析孕妇 PA 与 QoL 之间的关系。
本研究分析了 346 份由孕妇填写的问卷（中期 157 份，晚期 189 份）。用于评估 PA 的工具是波兰版妊娠体力活动问卷（PPAQ-PL）。生活质量（QoL）由世界卫生组织生活质量问卷简表（WHOQoL-Bref）评估。分析了中期和晚期妊娠妇女的 PPAQ-PL 和 WHOQoL-Bref 问卷的结果以及组间差异。
中期妊娠组妇女的生活质量和体力活动的强度和类型之间存在显著相关性。在该领域对生活质量评价较高的女性报告了更高的能量消耗（EE），与（=0.159，≤0.05）、（=0.166；≤0.05）和/或活动（=0.187；≤0.05）有关。在晚期妊娠妇女中，与/相关的更高 EE 与更高的生活质量评估（=0.149，≤0.05）和（=0.170，≤0.05）相吻合。在生活质量的（=0.161，≤0.05）和（=0.188；≤0.05）方面，与 EE 与相关呈正相关。相反，对的高度评价与与相关的更高 EE 相吻合（=0.174；≤0.05）。
本研究对妊娠期间 PA 与 QoL 之间的相关性研究做出了重要贡献。结果表明，需要改善产前保健并为孕妇推广 PA 计划。
