Table 5. Changes in measures of physical activity among participants unaffected by the COVID-19 pandemic*#.
Sedentary Hours Per Week | Month 6§ | Month 12§§ |
Control (Text4Baby) | -19.0 (-30.5 to -7.5) (p = 0.001) | -16.5 (-28.0 to -5.0) (p = 0.005) |
Intervention (Fit After Baby) | -19.4 (-28.2 to -10.7) (p < 0.0001) | -19.6 (-28.3 to -10.8) (p < 0.0001) |

#All models adjusted for baseline values
*Not enough data for vigorous activity for participants unaffected by COVID
†There were data from 45 participants at the 6-month time point, but for the purposes of analysis, the model predicted data for all 81 women
††There were data from 40 participants at the 12-month time point, but for the purposes of analysis, the model predicted data for all 81 women
§There were data from 34 participants at the 6-month time point, but for the purposes of analysis, the model predicted data for all 60 women unaffected by COVID
§§There were data from 36 participants at the 12-month time point, but for the purposes of analysis, the model predicted data for all 60 women unaffected by COVID
