The years 2019/2020 are the development of a new disease – COVID-19, whose pandemic was announced in March 2020. Pregnant women were then classified into the group with an increased risk of severe infection. Fear of illness, problems health care were one of the risk factors for depression during pregnancy and childbirth at the pandemic. Restrictions also resulted in reduced physical activity, which may have been negatively correlated with women’s emotional state. Aim. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the level of physical activity and the general psychophysical condition of women in late pregnancy and early postpartum. Materials and methods. Part I of the dissertation consists of two systematic reviews on the relationship between physical activity and depression during pregnancy and childbirth and a narrative review on the COVID-19 pandemic. Part II consists of the publication of observational studies conducted among women in the 1-8th day of postpartum period (before pandemic – Prepandemic, Ppan: n=252; before vaccination against COVID-19 – Covid1, Cov1: n=262; during vaccination against COVID-19 – Covid2, Cov2: n=226). The activity and psychophysical status of women during the perinatal period were examined using the following tools: The Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire, The Satisfaction With Life Scale, The Edi}, abstract={nburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, The Perceived Stress Scale and The Health Behaviour Inventory. Results. Depression during pregnancy and after childbirth affects 6-25% and 6.5-20% of women, respectively, and the risk of its development is minimized by properly selected physical activity: supervised training, home training, walking, yoga and aerobic exercises. During the pandemic, depression rates correlated with the daily increase in sicknesses and deaths from COVID-19. No differences between groups were noted in observational studies in life satisfaction, stress, risk of depression and health habits (p>0.05). Among women at risk of developing depression (EPDS≥12) giving birth in the early phase of the pandemic, a significant reduction in activities related to mobility was observed (β = -11.166, 95% CI: -21.624; -0.690), and a year later light intensity activities (β = -27.318, 95% CI: 52.801; -1.836). The pandemic resulted in a reduction in total physical activity among pregnant women, mainly in the late period (p=0.007). Conclusions. Physical activity during pregnancy and postpartum reduces the symptoms and risk of depression in women. The patients' condition depended on the period of the pandemic, but it did not result in a deterioration of life satisfaction, health habits and increase in stress or the risk of depression.}, title={The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the physical activity of pregnant women and their psychophysical condition at the early postpartum period}, type={Praca doktorska}, keywords={activity during pregnancy, depression at pregnancy/postpartum, COVID-19 pandemic}, }
