From: Self-reported (IFIS) versus measured physical fitness, and their associations to cardiometabolic risk factors in early pregnancy

Figure 2

Comparison between self-reported (International FItness Scale, IFIS) and measured fitness in early pregnancy. The plot shows group means with standard error (SE) for each level of self-reported fitness and the corresponding fitness test. Values shown are actual fitness test results as well as standardized z-scores for easier comparison. Self-reported overall fitness is compared with a composite score computed as the average of the z-scores from the two different fitness tests, i.e., handgrip and 6-min walk test. CRF cardiorespiratory fitness: self-reported CRF compared with 6-min walk test. Self-reported muscular strength is compared with handgrip strength test. F-statistics and p-value from one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Significance level from the overall ANOVA test for each fitness type is indicated with symbols: ‘***’ p < 0.001, ‘**’ p < 0.01, ‘*’ p < 0.05.
