Abstract

Prenatal mental health is an increasing public concern. At present, it has been shown that increasing physical activity (PA) is effective in promoting mental health of pregnant women. However, mental health may depend not only on the amount of time spent on a specific activity, but also on the intensity and type of the activity that it replaces. This study is aimed to explore the impact of replacing 60 min of one health behavior with another on the mental health of pregnant women.
