Due to the COVID-19 pandemic that we are currently facing, many governments across the world have declared a state of emergency and even confinements. This stressful situation, in addition to prolonged stays at home, may imply a radical change in lifestyle behavior and physical activity (PA). The aim of this study is to evaluate the physiological and psychological effects in cancer patients who changed their PA habits during the COVID-19 state of emergency in Spain.
Thirty-three participants were evaluated pre- and post-state of emergency. A series of questionnaires was used to assess cancer-specific quality of life.
The most relevant results revealed significantly lower walking time ( < 0.001) and sitting time ( = 0.014). Upper and lower body strength also decreased significantly ( = 0.009 and 0.012, respectively) and oxygen consumption (VO2 peak) ( = 0.023). None of the parameters analysed showed significant differences for psychological aspects (QLQ-C-30 and SF-36) and body composition.
Lower physical activity leads to negative physiological adaptation, particularly affecting cardiovascular and strength levels. While it is important to maintain the general population's amount and intensity of exercise, this particularly vulnerable group's physical capacity is vital to their health and well-being.
由于我们当前面临的新冠疫情，世界上许多国家的政府都宣布进入紧急状态甚至实施封锁。这种压力状况，再加上长时间居家，可能意味着生活方式行为和身体活动（PA）发生根本性变化。本研究的目的是评估在西班牙新冠疫情紧急状态期间改变了身体活动习惯的癌症患者的生理和心理影响。
对33名参与者在紧急状态前后进行了评估。使用一系列问卷来评估癌症特异性生活质量。
最相关的结果显示步行时间显著减少（<0.001）和久坐时间（=0.014）。上肢和下肢力量也显著下降（分别为=0.009和0.012）以及耗氧量（VO2峰值）（=0.023）。所分析的参数在心理方面（QLQ-C-30和SF-36）和身体成分上均未显示出显著差异。
较低的身体活动会导致负面的生理适应，尤其影响心血管和力量水平。虽然维持普通人群的运动量和强度很重要，但这个特别脆弱群体的身体能力对他们的健康和幸福至关重要。
