“…On the other hand, those more active are less likely to develop mental disorders 26-28 and reported fewer symptoms in comparison to those with mental disorders 29-32 . During the pandemic, cross-sectional evidence suggests that those with higher PA or lower SB levels are less likely to present depressive symptoms 33 . Promoting MVPA and reducing SB during the pandemic is also essential for physical health.…”

“…7.1% to 45.4% of participants reported raised anxiety symptoms. 7.3% to 18.2% of participants reported reduced sleep quality and 31.1% of participants reported raised levels of perceived stress (Cao et al, 2020; Huang & Zhao, 2020; Liu, Zhang, Wong, & Hyun, 2020; Meyer et al, 2020; Rossi et al, 2020; Schuch et al, 2020; C.

“…According to recent meta-analyses, physical activity (PA) could be a protective factor for mental illnesses (Harvey et al, 2018; Schuch et al, 2019; Schuch et al, 2018). Indeed, Schuch et al (2020) reported that participants, who engaged in 30 minutes or more of moderate to vigorous PA (MVPA) had decreased odds of depressive or anxiety symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, Meyer et al (2020) reported that compared to participants that kept adhering to MVPA (according to physical activity guidelines; American College of Sports Medicine, 2017) during COVID-19 measures, those who decreased their levels of MVPA reported more depressive symptoms, loneliness, and stress as well as lower positive mental health.…”

“…Sedentary behaviors such as longer screen time and lower physical energy expenditure can aggravate physical and mental conditions (50), especially in this period of social isolation. Therefore, reducing the time spent in sedentary behavior at home is of great importance for maintaining health during lockdown (51). Furthermore, increasing the time spent engaging in exercise is essential.…”

“…It is natural that with aging, the frequency and intensity of physical activities will decrease ( 51 ). However, there are further reasons for encouraging an increase in activity levels, such as for improving cardiorespiratory fitness ( 60 ), which in turn reduces mortality risk ( 61 ), and poor health ( 62 ).…”
