The purpose of this study was to explore perceived changes in physical activity (PA) due to Covid19 stay-at-home and social distancing guidance among older adults. Participants (n = 1429, 77% female, 84% ≥60 years) living in Scotland completed an online survey in Summer 2020 measuring PA and wellbeing (indexed through loneliness, and health-related quality of life). The survey included open- and closed-ended questions about how these variables changed in response to Covid19 social distancing and ‘shielding’ guidelines. From the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), the majority reported high volumes of PA, indicative of being ‘moderately’ or ‘highly’ active. When asked specifically about strength training, 12% reported engagement on ≥2d/wk. Most participants reported that PA had changed during this time, citing reduced use of exercise facilities, increased active travel, and online PA classes; although only 16% reported engaging in PA online. Higher levels of PA were found to be associated with better health-related quality of life. Additional efforts should be made to support PA engagement in older adults, including strength training and other tailored approaches to support individual needs.

“……锻炼机会变得非常重要”:苏格兰老年人在 Covid19 期间身体活动的变化

本研究的目的是探索因 Covid19 居家和老年人社交距离指导而导致的身体活动 (PA) 的感知变化。居住在苏格兰的参与者(n = 1429,77% 为女性,84% ≥60 岁)于 2020 年夏季完成了一项在线调查,测量 PA 和幸福感(通过孤独感和与健康相关的生活质量指数化)。该调查包括开放式和封闭式问题,这些问题是关于这些变量如何响应 Covid19 社会疏远和“屏蔽”指南而变化的。根据国际体育活动问卷 (IPAQ),大多数人报告了大量的 PA,表明他们处于“中度”或“高度”活跃状态。当被问及关于力量训练的具体问题时,12% 的人表示参与度≥2 天/周。大多数参与者报告说,在此期间 PA 发生了变化,引用减少使用运动设施、增加积极旅行和在线 PA 课程;尽管只有 16% 的人报告说从事在线 PA。发现更高水平的 PA 与更好的健康相关生活质量相关。应该做出更多努力来支持老年人参与 PA,包括力量训练和其他量身定制的方法来满足个人需求。
