This study investigated how COVID-19 impacted the physical activity and sports participation of Pennsylvania residents and their children.
Data were collected through an online survey of 525 Pennsylvania residents with a child between the ages of 3 and 17. Data were collected in October 2020.
Nearly a third of respondents reported a decrease in their physical activity. Hispanics were more likely than non-Hispanics to report a decrease in their physical activity. Older children were more likely to have a decrease in physical activity. Children in homes with more children present were less likely to see such a decline. Men were more likely than women to see COVID-19 as a barrier to physical activity for themselves and their child.
The results of this study underscore the profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our health as a nation. Exercise, in all forms, plays a key role in overall health, weight, and disease resistance. It remains unclear how declines in physical activity might persist over time, and among whom.
本研究调查了新冠疫情如何影响宾夕法尼亚州居民及其子女的体育活动和运动参与情况。
通过对525名有3至17岁子女的宾夕法尼亚州居民进行在线调查收集数据。数据于2020年10月收集。
近三分之一的受访者表示其体育活动减少。西班牙裔比非西班牙裔更有可能报告体育活动减少。年龄较大的儿童体育活动减少的可能性更大。家中孩子较多的儿童出现这种下降的可能性较小。男性比女性更有可能将新冠疫情视为自身及其子女进行体育活动的障碍。
本研究结果强调了新冠疫情对我国国民健康的深远影响。各种形式的运动在整体健康、体重和抗病能力方面都起着关键作用。目前尚不清楚体育活动的减少如何随着时间的推移持续存在，以及哪些人群会出现这种情况。
