Background

The recent shelter-in-place order issued by the Spanish government (due to the outbreak of the COVID-19) forced the Spanish population to self-isolate at home. The psychological and social effects of this new situation are unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the impact of such scenario on citizens’ resilience, as well as the connections between resilience, physical activity (PA), gender, weight and body mass index (BMI) before and after confinement, and COVID-19-related information.

Methods

A total of 1795 people answered an online questionnaire conducted on March 21st^, , 2020, seven days after the mandatory shelter-in-place health order was issued.

Results

Results showed that individuals who regularly engaged in Vigorous PA during the first week of confinement reported higher resilience in terms of higher locus of control, higher self-efficacy, and higher optimism. Moreover, inter-personal resilience differences were observed based on gender, age groups, BMI, weight, and people living with dependent persons or under health risk conditions.

Conclusion

To the best of our knowledge, these findings are the first quantitative evidence pointing towards a link between engagement in Vigorous PA and resilience within the COVID-19 restrictions in Spain. These findings may have important implications for general population during the course of this pandemic, or future ones.

COVID-19 居家隔离人群的恢复力和身体活动：初步评估

背景

西班牙政府最近发布的就地避难令（由于 COVID-19 的爆发）迫使西班牙民众在家中自我隔离。这种新情况的心理和社会影响尚不清楚。因此，本研究旨在检验这种情况对公民复原力的影响，以及在坐月子前后的复原力、身体活动 (PA)、性别、体重和体重指数 (BMI) 与 COVID-19 之间的联系-相关信息。

方法

^{2020 年 3 月 21日}，即强制就地避难卫生令发布 7 天后，共有 1795 人回答了在线问卷调查。

结果

结果表明，在坐月子的第一周经常进行剧烈运动的人报告在更高的控制点、更高的自我效能和更高的乐观度方面具有更高的复原力。此外，根据性别、年龄组、BMI、体重以及与受抚养人一起生活或处于健康风险状况下的人，观察到人际复原力差异。

结论

据我们所知，这些发现是第一个定量证据，表明在西班牙的 COVID-19 限制中参与 Vigorous PA 与复原力之间存在联系。这些发现可能对本次大流行期间或未来的普通人群产生重要影响。
