This study aims to examine the associations between PA during pregnancy and occurrence of preterm birth. <jats:bold>Methods<\/jats:bold>: PA was assessed by questionnaire (for each trimester) and accelerometry (second trimester) in women enrolled in a birth cohort study that started during pregnancy and included births that occurred between January 1 and December 31, 2015. Gestational age was based on the last menstrual period and ultrasonography. All deliveries before 37\u00a0weeks of gestation were considered preterm births. A Poisson regression model was used to measure associations controlling for potential confounders. <jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>: PA information was available for 4163 women and 13.8% of births were preterm. A total of 15.8% of women were engaged in PA during pregnancy. Multivariate analysis showed that only PA performed in the third trimester of pregnancy (prevalence ratio\u2009=\u20090.58; 95% confidence interval, 0.36\u20130.96) was associated with the outcome. <jats:bold>Conclusions<\/jats:bold>: PA performed in the third trimester of pregnancy was associated with a protection to preterm birth. Pregnant women should be counseled to engage in PA to lower the risk of premature delivery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1123\/jpah.2019-0604","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,18]],"date-time":"2020-09-18T14:21:00Z","timestamp":1600438860000},"page":"1065-1074","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Physical
