The aim of this study was to capture the impact of COVID-19 on exercise behavior in U.S. college students. Exercise behaviors and perceived academic stress were examined from pre-COVID-19 (January-March 2020) and early-COVID-19 (April-July 2020) to continued-COVID-19 times (August-October 2020). One hundred and thirty-two participants completed the online questionnaires retrospectively. Two-way analyses of variance were used to examine exercise behaviors and academic stress perception over time between genders. Participants spent much time in sedentary behavior and an increase in academic stress was evident in learning during the early-COVID-19 period. The time spent in sedentary behavior was reduced, but the stress involving coursework remained during the continued-COVID period. The impact of the COVID pandemic was observed to be universal across sex groups. Universities should consider how to support physical and mental health during lockdown and extended closure due to a pandemic.
本研究旨在探讨 COVID-19 对美国大学生锻炼行为的影响。从 COVID-19 前（2020 年 1 月至 3 月）、COVID-19 早期（2020 年 4 月至 7 月）到持续 COVID-19 时期（2020 年 8 月至 10 月），对锻炼行为和感知到的学业压力进行了考察。132 名参与者回顾性地完成了在线问卷。使用双向方差分析比较了不同性别在不同时间点的锻炼行为和学业压力感知。在 COVID-19 早期，参与者久坐时间增加，学业压力增大。在持续 COVID-19 时期，久坐时间减少，但与课程作业相关的压力仍然存在。观察到 COVID 大流行对不同性别群体的影响是普遍存在的。大学应该考虑如何在封锁和因大流行而延长关闭期间支持身心健康。
