The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of COVID-19 lockdown on mood and objective physical activity. A sample of 78 college students in Spain completed an assessment of mood using the valid Profile of Mood State (POMS) questionnaire and had their physical activity tracked objectively using a validated wrist-worn accelerometer (Xiaomi Mi Band 2) for one week before being under COVID-19 lockdown (T1) and for one week during COVID-19 lockdown (T2). Paired samples -tests revealed significantly greater ( = 0.027) POMS Total Mood Disturbance (TMD) Score T2 (mean ± SD) (22.6 ± 28.0) compared to T1 (17.7 ± 22.6) (lower score represents better mood) and significantly lower ( ≤ 0.001) POMS Vigor Score T2 (14.1 ± 5.0) compared to T1 (18.2 ± 4.5) (lower vigor score represents lower mental and physical energy levels). Additionally, Total Objective Steps was significantly less ( ≤ 0.001) lT2 (15,841.9 ± 17,253.2 steps) compared to T1 (64,607.0 ± 50,525.2 steps). Regression analyses demonstrated significant negative relationships of Total Objective Steps and POMS Depression ( = 0.014, Beta = -0.277, = -2.511), POMS Anger ( = 0.040, Beta = -0.233, = -2.091), and POMS TMD ( = 0.007, Beta = -0.302, = -2.754) T2. The regressions also revealed a significant positive relationship ( = 0.012, Beta = 0.283, = 2.57) of Total Objective Steps and POMS Vigor T2. These data suggest that being in a lockdown due to a pandemic may have negative physical and mental health-related consequences and that engaging in physical activity may reduce these deleterious mental health-related consequences during lockdowns and quarantines.
这项研究的目的是评估 COVID-19 封锁对情绪和客观身体活动的影响。西班牙的 78 名大学生参与了这项研究，他们在 COVID-19 封锁前一周（T1）和封锁期间一周（T2）使用经过验证的腕戴式加速度计（小米手环 2）客观地跟踪他们的身体活动，同时使用有效的心境状态量表（POMS）问卷评估他们的情绪。配对样本 t 检验显示，T2 时的 POMS 总分（TMD）得分（22.6 ± 28.0）显著高于 T1（17.7 ± 22.6）（分数越低表示情绪越好），T2 时的 POMS 活力得分（14.1 ± 5.0）显著低于 T1（18.2 ± 4.5）（活力得分越低表示精神和身体能量水平越低）。此外，T2 时的总客观步数（15841.9 ± 17253.2 步）显著少于 T1（64607.0 ± 50525.2 步）（≤0.001）。回归分析表明，总客观步数与 POMS 抑郁（=0.014，β=-0.277，=-2.511）、POMS 愤怒（=0.040，β=-0.233，=-2.091）和 POMS TMD（=0.007，β=-0.302，=-2.754）呈显著负相关。回归还显示，T2 时总客观步数与 POMS 活力呈显著正相关（=0.012，β=0.283，=2.57）。这些数据表明，由于大流行而被封锁可能会对身心健康产生负面影响，而在封锁和隔离期间进行身体活动可能会减轻这些有害的心理健康相关后果。
