Leisure time physical Activity among pregnant women in the us
Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology, 2004Co-Authors: Kelly R Evenson, David A Savitz, Sara L HustonAbstract:Summary Few population-based data exist that describe Leisure-time physical Activity among pregnant women. The purpose of this study was to characterise the prevalence of Leisure Activity and to examine characteristics associated with participation in Leisure Activity during pregnancy. Using data collected from the year 2000 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, information on Leisure Activity was collected during telephone interviews from 1979 pregnant women and 44 657 non-pregnant women 18–44 years of age, representative of the US population. The prevalence of any Leisure Activity in the past month was 65.6%, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 62.0, 69.1, among pregnant women and 73.1%[95% CI 72.4, 73.9] among non-pregnant women. The prevalence of recommended Activity was also lower among pregnant women than non-pregnant women (15.8% vs. 26.1%). The most common Leisure Activity for pregnant women was walking, followed by activities such as swimming laps, weight lifting, gardening, and aerobics. Among pregnant women, any Leisure Activity was significantly higher for those with higher education, younger age, and excellent or very good health than for those with fair or poor health. Pregnant women reported less Leisure Activity than non-pregnant women of the same age. Studies to understand the enablers and barriers to participating in Leisure Activity during pregnancy are needed.

participation in Leisure Activity and exercise of chronic stroke survivors using community based rehabilitation services in seongnam city
Annals of Rehabilitation Medicine, 2015Co-Authors: Tae Im Yi, Seung A HaAbstract:Objective To clarify how participation in Leisure activities and exercise by chronic stroke survivors differs before and after a stroke. Methods Sixty chronic stroke survivors receiving community-based rehabilitation services from a health center in Seongnam City were recruited. They completed a questionnaire survey regarding their demographic characteristics and accompanying diseases, and on the status of their Leisure activities and exercise. In addition, their level of function (Korean version of Modified Barthel Index score), risk of depression (Beck Depression Inventory), and quality of life (SF-8) were measured. Results After their stroke, most of the respondents had not returned to their pre-stroke levels of Leisure Activity participation. The reported number of Leisure activities declined from a mean of 3.9 activities before stroke to 1.9 activities post-stroke. In addition, many participants became home-bound, sedentary, and non-social after their stroke. The most common barriers to participation in Leisure activities were weakness and poor balance, lack of transportation, and cost. The respondents reported a mean daily time spent on exercise of 2.6±1.3 hours. Pain was the most common barrier to exercise participation. Conclusion Chronic stroke survivors need information on Leisure activities and appropriate pain management.
