The aim of this study was to determine the impact of COVID-19 restrictions on older adults' perceived health and well-being according to different types of participation in sport and physical activity by gender and region. A survey was implemented during the first COVID-19 lockdown in Australia (June 2020) and information collected on demographics, sport and physical activity patterns pre-COVID-19, and health and well-being outcomes during lockdown and compared to 1 year earlier. During COVID-19 lockdown, older adults who participated in both club sport and informal activities had significantly better general health, physical health, and resilience than those who participated solely in a single setting. Those participating in both team and individual activities reported better general well-being. Older adults who were active in a range of settings and modes had improved health and well-being. Social support is especially important for older adults to become and remain active.
本研究旨在根据不同性别和地区的运动和体育活动参与类型，确定 COVID-19 限制对老年人健康和幸福感的影响。该调查于 2020 年 6 月澳大利亚第一次 COVID-19 封锁期间进行，收集了人口统计学、COVID-19 之前的运动和体育活动模式以及封锁期间和 1 年前的健康和幸福感方面的信息。在 COVID-19 封锁期间，与仅参加单一场所活动的人相比，同时参加俱乐部运动和非正式活动的老年人在一般健康、身体健康和适应力方面明显更好。参加团队和个人活动的人报告说整体幸福感更好。在各种环境和模式下活跃的老年人的健康和幸福感得到了改善。社会支持对老年人积极参与运动和保持活跃特别重要。
