However, during pregnancy, doubts arise about what type, intensity and frequency of physical activity are most recommended. Objective: Our main objective was to know the level of physical activity (PA) and sedentary lifestyle in a representative sample of pregnant women in M\u00e1laga, one of the most populated cities in Spain. Also, we aimed to find out the effects of PA on obstetric and perinatal outcomes and on the mental health of pregnant women, differentiated according to PA intensity and domain. Methods: Five hundred and forty full-term pregnant women who had their obstetric checks in the maternity ward of the Regional University Hospital of M\u00e1laga were recruited through consecutive sampling. Participants answered a questionnaire that included the WHO Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ), the Edinburgh Depression Scale (EDS), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) and some other sociodemographic and health-related questions. Subsequently, information about perinatal outcomes was obtained after birth. Results: Only 50.8% of women followed the WHO recommendations on activity. We found a high proportion of obese pregnant women and a direct effect of a sedentary lifestyle on the rate of cesarean sections and vulvovaginal tears in spontaneous births, as well as on the mental health of future mothers. Women\u2019s age, the number of children, BMI at the beginning of pregnancy and leisure time physical activity (LTPA) explained anxiety scores, and age, LTPA, BMI at the end of pregnancy and intense work-related physical activity (WTPA) predicted depression scores. Conclusions: LTPA improves obstetric outcomes, helping to reduce the rate of cesarean sections and vulvovaginal tears, as well as reducing prenatal anxiety and depression.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13030723","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,26]],"date-time":"2024-01-26T10:54:27Z","timestamp":1706266467000},"page":"723","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Physical Activity in Work and Leisure Time during Pregnancy, and Its Influence on Maternal Health and Perinatal Outcomes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-9102-2574","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ernesto","family":"Gonz\u00e1lez-Cazorla","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Health Sciences School, Malaga University, 29010 M\u00e1laga, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ana Pilar","family":"Brenes-Romero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Regional University Hospital of M\u00e1laga, 29001 M\u00e1laga, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda Jos\u00e9","family":"S\u00e1nchez-G\u00f3mez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Regional University Hospital of M\u00e1laga, 29001 M\u00e1laga, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elena","family":"Est\u00e9vez-Ruiz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Regional University Hospital of M\u00e1laga, 29001 M\u00e1laga, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Antonio","family":"D\u00edaz-Enjuto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Regional University Hospital of M\u00e1laga, 29001 M\u00e1laga, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ana","family":"Cant\u00f3n-Cisneros","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Regional University Hospital of M\u00e1laga, 29001 M\u00e1laga, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8861-1751","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel","family":"Lubi\u00e1n-L\u00f3pez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Viamed Bah\u00eda de C\u00e1diz Hospital, 11130 C\u00e1diz, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6280-9153","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan","family":"Mozas-Moreno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Granada, 18016 Granada, Spain"},{"name":"Obstetrics and Gynecology Service, Virgen de las Nieves University Hospital, 18014 Granada, Spain"},{"name":"Consortium for Biomedical Research in Epidemiology & Public Health (CIBER Epidemiolog\u00eda y Salud P\u00fablica-CIBERESP), 28029 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Biohealth Research Institute (Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Biosanitaria Ibs.
