Although the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, subsequent quarantine, and social distancing on physical activity has been covered extensively, there has been limited focus on the resulting sedentary behavior on existing and emerging psychopathology. This is particularly disconcerting regarding children and adolescents, who rely on the ability to play to meet developmental milestones and who require more exercise than adults. Youth populations have been significantly disrupted by school closures and home confinement and are in developmental periods that overlap with the emergence of serious mental illness. Therefore, it is important to consider the mental health consequences for youths, and also explore ways to combat sedentary activity for this vulnerable population.
虽然 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行、随后的隔离和社交距离对身体活动的影响已经得到广泛报道，但对于由此产生的静坐行为对现有和新出现的精神病理学的影响关注有限。这对于儿童和青少年来说尤其令人不安，他们依靠玩耍的能力来达到发展的里程碑，而且比成年人需要更多的运动。青少年人群因学校关闭和家庭禁闭而受到严重干扰，而且正处于严重精神疾病出现的发育期。因此，必须考虑青少年的心理健康后果，并探讨为这一弱势群体对抗静坐活动的方法。
