摘要：Introduction and objective. The assessment of physical activity during pregnancy is crucial in perinatal care and it is animportant research topic. Unfortunately, in Poland there is a lack of one commonly accepted questionnaire of physicalactivity during pregnancy.The aim of this study was to adapt the Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire (PPAQ) to Polish conditions and assessthe reliability of its Polish version (PPAQ-PL).Materials and method. The PPAQ was translated from English into Polish and its reliability tested. 64 correctly completed(twice, one week apart) questionnaires were qualified for analysis. Test-retest reliability was assessed using IntraclassCorrelation Coefficient (ICC).Results. As a result of the adaptation and psychometric assessment, in the Polish version of the questionnaire the numberof questions was reduced from 36 to 35 by removing the question concerning ‘mowing lawn while on a riding mower’.The ICC value for total activity was 0.75, which confirms a substantial level of reliability. The ICC values for subscales ofintensity ranged from 0.53 (light) – 0.86 (vigorous). For subscales of type, ICC values ranged from 0.59 (transportation) – 0.89(household/caregiving).Conclusions. The PPAQ-PL can be accepted as a reliable tool for the assessing physical activity of pregnant women in Poland.Information obtained using the questionnaire might be helpful in monitoring health behaviours, preventing obesity, aswell as designing and promoting physical activity programmes for pregnant women.
