Governments have restricted public life during the COVID-19 pandemic, inter alia closing sports facilities and gyms. As regular exercise is essential for health, this study examined the effect of pandemic-related confinements on physical activity (PA) levels. A multinational survey was performed in 14 countries. Times spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) as well as in vigorous physical activity only (VPA) were assessed using the Nordic Physical Activity Questionnaire (short form). Data were obtained for leisure and occupational PA pre- and during restrictions. Compliance with PA guidelines was calculated based on the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO). In total, n = 13,503 respondents (39 ± 15 years, 59% females) were surveyed. Compared to pre-restrictions, overall self-reported PA declined by 41% (MVPA) and 42.2% (VPA). Reductions were higher for occupational vs. leisure time, young and old vs. middle-aged persons, previously more active vs. less active individuals, but similar between men and women. Compared to pre-pandemic, compliance with WHO guidelines decreased from 80.9% (95% CI: 80.3–81.7) to 62.5% (95% CI: 61.6–63.3). Results suggest PA levels have substantially decreased globally during the COVID-19 pandemic. Key stakeholders should consider strategies to mitigate loss in PA in order to preserve health during the pandemic.

Confinement measures during the COVID-19 pandemic have caused substantial reductions in global physical activity (PA) levels. In view of the manifold health benefits of PA, the development of interventions counteracting this trend is paramount. Our survey with 15,261 participants (38 ± 15 years, 58.5% females) examined preferences towards digital home exercise programs in 14 countries affected by COVID-19. More than two-thirds of the sample (68.4%, n = 10,433) indicated being interested in home exercise, and most participants were willing to work out at least three times per week (89.3%, n = 9328). Binary logistic regression revealed that female sex, working part-time, younger age, and being registered in a gym were associated with willingness to exercise. Flexibility (71.1%, n = 7377), resistance (68.6%, n = 7116), and endurance training (62.4%, n = 6478) were the most preferred types of exercise. Our results may guide health providers in developing individually tailored PA interventions during the current and future pandemics.

Introducción: muchos niños no alcanzan las recomendaciones internacionales respecto a los niveles de actividad física (AF) relacionados con la salud. El juego estructurado y activo sería una gran estrategia para incrementar la AF. El objetivo fue describir intensidades de af alcanzadas en juegos estructurados seleccionados, y su relación con la recomendación de af para niños. Materiales y métodos: participaron 30 niños normopeso (20 varones y 10 mujeres), de estos grupos etarios: 6-7, 8-9 y 10-12 años. Realizaron 32 juegos de 6 min 50 s (± 1 min 42 s) de duración cada uno, en seis sesiones, y con pausas de 5-6 min interjuegos. La intensidad de af fue determinada por observación sistemática (SOFIT) y acelerometría, categorizando la intensidad de AF según puntos de corte en cuentas por minuto (CPM). Se calcularon medias y ds para variables de acelerometría, CPM y SOFIT. Se realizaron contrastes entre sexos y grupos etarios, considerando el grupo total y por cada juego. Se correlacionaron variables de acelerometría con las de sofit. La significancia fue p
