The population for this analysis includes participants with both valid accelerometry and completed physical activity questionnaires at each time-point (537 at 2-3 weeks postpartum and 527 at 5-6 weeks postpartum). Quintiles are shown for average daily minutes of MVPA according to wrist accelerometry at each time-point. Participants reported activity types performed for at least 10 minutes in the last 7 days, according to the modified Bone Loading Questionnaire. Participants could report more than one, or no, types of activities. Column percentages reflect the proportion of women that reported each activity type according to their objectively measured quintile of MVPA. Some column counts do not add up to 100% due to missing responses in some individual activity questions.
