Measuring 24-hour Movement Profiles During Pregnancy: Protocol for the 24MOVE Prospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Physical activity (PA) during the waking period and sleep during pregnancy may mitigate the increased risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes posed by gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and excessive gestational weight gain (GWG) in pregnant individuals with pre-pregnancy overweight and obesity. Recent studies have conceptualized PA, sedentary behavior, and sleep as part of a 24-hour movement framework; however, there is a gap in the knowledge about the relationship between 24-hour movement and pregnancy outcomes.

Objective

This paper describes the study protocol for the 24MOVE study, a prospective cohort study that examines associations between 24-hour movement profiles across pregnancy and maternal glucose tolerance, GWG, and infant birthweight.
