Introduction. Pregnancy is a special period in woman’s life. The main factor that
has a huge impact on its course is the lifestyle of a pregnant woman. Its impor-
tant element is physical activity, which brings with itself a lot of positive bene-
fits for the mother’s body, whose overload increases with the development of
pregnancy.
The aim. The aim of the study was to assess the physical activity and the pro-
fessional activity of pregnant women.
Material and methods. The study involved 174 pregnant women participating
in childbirth classes. The research was carried out from January to April 2019.
The method was a diagnostic survey using the questionnaire technique, and
the tools were an author’s questionnaire and a questionnaire on physical activ-
ity of pregnant women (PPAQ-PL). Statistical analyzes were developed in the
IBM SPSS Statistics 20 program with the assumed significance level of α=0.05.
Results. General physical activity is significantly dependent on socio-demo-
graphic data such as: age (p < 0.001), education (p < 0.001), marital status (p
< 0.001), and place of residence (p < 0.001). Occupational activity significant-
ly depends on the overall physical activity and individual categories of physical
activity.
Conclusions. Socio-demographic data such as age, education, place of resi-
dence and marital status had a significant impact on both professional and phys-
ical activity. A lower education or lower economic status was the reason for
stopping the professional activity of pregnant women.
Key words: pregnant woman, physical activity, professional activity, PPAQ
