A total of 159 pregnant women were involved in the GESTAtion and FITness project: 106 pregnant women (mean age 32.7, SD 4.4\u00a0years) were included. Self\u2010reported physical fitness\u2014that is, cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength, flexibility, and overall fitness\u2014was assessed with the IFIS. Physical fitness was objectively measured using the Bruce test, the handgrip strength test and the back\u2010scratch test. The HRQoL was assessed with the 36\u2010item Short Form Health Survey (SF\u201036). Higher self\u2010reported physical fitness measured with IFIS was associated with higher objectively measured physical fitness (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u00a0&lt;\u00a0.05). There was a linear association so that higher self\u2010reported physical fitness (ie, IFIS; regardless of the fitness component) was related to greater\n                    <jats:italic>General Health<\/jats:italic>\n                    dimension scores (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u00a0&lt;\u00a0.05).

This linear trend was not seen for objectively measured physical fitness. The results of this study suggest that IFIS might be a useful tool for identifying pregnant women with low or very low physical fitness and with low quality of life health\u2010related. Further research should elucidate whether IFIS can identify women with pregnancy complications before it can be implemented in clinical practice.\n
