Mother’s heart rate: a valid way to measure physical activity during pregnancy? Data from the FitMum RCT
Using HR for assessing MVPA offers transparency. The Garmin algorithm (model 1) assigned more MVPA compared with the HR model (model 2a). Removing the 10-min bout criterion resulted in more MVPA (Model 2a vs 2b). Using the HRR for assessing MVPA (model 3) resulted in more MVPA compared with using the maximum HR (model 2b). Resting and average HR resembled findings from previous studies.
