Physical Activity Patterns and Factors Related to Exercise during Pregnancy: A Cross Sectional Study.

TL;DR: The findings indicate that promoting physical activity remains a priority in public health policy, and women of childbearing age, especially those planning a pregnancy, should be encouraged to adopt an exercise routine or maintain an active lifestyle during pregnancy in order to avoid sedentary- and obesity-associated risks.

Prevalence of physical activity in the United States: Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, 2001.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used an enhanced surveillance tool to describe the prevalence and amount of both moderate-intensity and vigorous-intensity physical activity among U.S. adults, finding that 45% of adults (48% of men and 43% of women) were active at recommended levels during nonworking hours (at least 30 minutes five or more days per week in moderate intensity activities, equivalent to brisk walking, or at least 20 minutes three or more daily in vigorous activities, which is equivalent to running, heavy yard work, or aerobic dance).
