Resumen:

Purpose: Participation in physical activity during pregnancy may reduce the risk of maternal and fetal disorders. However, few studies have validated physical activity questionnaires for use during pregnancy, a time characterized by different patterns of activity than nonpregnancy. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the validity and reliability of the Kaiser Physical Activity Survey (KPAS) for use during pregnancy.
