This project aims to test the feasibility of a practical physical activity intervention for
postpartum women, incorporating the use of body weights worn during typical daily
activities.
postpartum women, incorporating the use of body weights worn during typical daily
activities.
We are piloting a 3-arm, unblinded, randomized controlled trial in postpartum women; with 10
participants in each study group. Women will be recruited at 2-6 months postpartum, with the
intervention lasting through 12 months postpartum. Data collection will include:1) Physical
activity; 2) Maternal body composition; 3) Questionnaires to assess:motivation to adopt
healthy behaviors, body attitudes, infant feeding practices; 4) Process evaluation to
assess: likes and dislikes about the intervention program, suggestions for improving the
intervention, reasons for leaving the study. The proposed study time period is 6 months for
study recruitment, 18 months to carry out the study, and 6 months for data analysis (total 2
years).
