About this study
Physical activity (PA) is defined as 'any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires the expenditure of energy (...) physical activity of moderate or sustained intensity has beneficial effects on health'. This activity is characterised by its duration, intensity, frequency and the way in which it is practised.
Physical activity is a behaviour that has a protective effect on various chronic diseases and is associated with a number of important vital parameters, such as heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, body mass index (BMI) and blood sugar levels, all of which are essential measures that provide an overview of an individual's overall state of health.
Pregnancy is a period during which many physiological and hormonal changes take place. Pregnancy is a period during which physical activity is reduced and there is a tendency towards a sedentary lifestyle. However, physical activity has a number of benefits for pregnant women, including the prevention of a number of pregnancy-related pathologies that can be harmful to both the woman and her baby, such as gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia and pregnancy-induced hypertension, which can lead to premature birth, increased risk of macrosomia and hypotrophy. What's more, physical activity helps pregnant women to control weight gain, reduce back pain and alleviate anxiety and depression.
Read the detailed description
The main objective is to describe the physical activity of pregnant women.
The secondary objectives are:
- To investigate the factors associated with a sedentary lifestyle among pregnant women, in particular the lack of knowledge among pregnant women about physical activity during pregnancy
- To describe the information received by pregnant women about physical activity during pregnancy

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Ricci Gagnon test
The physical activity of pregnant women will be assessed using the Ricci Gagnon test. The test consists of 9 questions coded from 1 to 5, giving a score out of 45 points.
The score is interpreted as follows: under 18: inactive; between 18 and 35: active; over 35: very active.
Measured: Day 0

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Ricci Gagnon test (time frame: Day 0). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Feb 2026.
