Reviewer's report:
This paper studied physical activities of young mother in Poland.
Although it is interesting topic to analyse the physical activities of women specially who have
responsibilities of family care and also a good sample size, but there are many points that lead tolow quality of paper.
1- The different sections of the paper are not coherent with each other. For example the objectives
and methods and results are not in the same line.2- All sections are explained in its place in the paper. For example results was explained in themethods. Or Conclusion was explained in the results in the abstract and so on.3- The main variables of the study are not defined well and the physical activity was studied asvery general concept than specific and according scientific definition.4- The researchers just look to physical activity which is may be obvious to many people and it isnot a hidden subjects. If reader could to correlate the quality of physical activity with the realhealth problems of the women may it was more effective research.5- The recommendations according results and conclusions may not realistic for life and healthsystem.
These my perception may be because of that the researchers couldn't write well enough to clarify
their message to the readers. Therefore rewriting of the paper may be beneficial.
