Comparing Multiple Approaches to Estimate Physical Activity, Sedentary Behavior, and Sleep in Pregnancy.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The purpose of this study was to compare estimates of 24-hour activity using the best practice of a thigh accelerometer (activPAL), wrist actigraphy (Actiwatch), and a sleep diary (PAL + watch + diary) to estimates from simpler procedures, such as the thigh accelerometer and diary (PAL + diary) or thigh monitor alone (PAL only) during pregnancy.

Methods

Data collected during the 2^nd trimester from 40 randomly selected participants in the Pregnancy 24/7 cohort study were included. activPAL data were integrated with sleep time determined by wrist actigraphy (PAL + watch + diary) or diary-determined sleep (PAL + diary). In the PAL only analysis, average estimates were exported directly from the PAL software. Repe
