The lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic impacted physical activity (PA) levels around the world, affecting health parameters in young adults with cancer (YAC). To our knowledge, there is no evidence of the impact of the lockdown on the Spanish YAC. To analyse the changes in PA levels before, during, and after the lockdown of the YAC and its impact on health metrics in Spain, in this study, we utilized a self-reported web survey. PA levels decreased during the lockdown, and a significant increase in PA was observed after the lockdown. Moderate PA had the largest reduction (49%). Significant increases in moderate PA were noted after the lockdown (85.2%). Participants self-reported more than 9 h of sitting per day. HQoL and fatigue levels were significantly worse during the lockdown. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in this cohort of Spanish YAC showed a decrease in PA levels during the lockdown, affecting sedentarism, fatigue and HQoL. After lockdown, PA levels partially recovered, while HQoL and fatigue levels remained altered. This may have long-term physical effects such as cardiovascular comorbidities associated with sedentarism and psychosocial effects. It is necessary to implement strategies such as cardio-oncology rehabilitation (CORE), an intervention that can be delivered online, potentially improving participants' health behaviours and outcomes.
由于 COVID-19 大流行,世界各地的体力活动(PA)水平受到影响,这对癌症青年患者(YAC)的健康参数产生了影响。据我们所知,目前尚无证据表明封锁对西班牙 YAC 有影响。为了分析封锁对西班牙 YAC 的 PA 水平的影响及其对健康指标的影响,在这项研究中,我们使用了自我报告的网络调查。PA 水平在封锁期间下降,封锁后 PA 水平显著增加。中等强度 PA 的减少幅度最大(49%)。封锁后,中等强度 PA 的增加幅度显著(85.2%)。参与者自我报告每天久坐超过 9 小时。HQoL 和疲劳水平在封锁期间明显恶化。COVID-19 大流行对西班牙 YAC 队列的影响表明,封锁期间 PA 水平下降,影响久坐行为、疲劳和 HQoL。封锁后,PA 水平部分恢复,但 HQoL 和疲劳水平仍未改变。这可能会产生长期的身体影响,如与久坐行为相关的心血管合并症和心理社会影响。有必要实施一些策略,如心脏肿瘤康复(CORE),这是一种可以在线提供的干预措施,可能会改善参与者的健康行为和结果。
