“…On the individual (student) level, healthy lifestyle behaviours (exercising, spending time outdoors [ 47 ], eating well, good quality sleep [ 48 ]) and emotion-focused coping strategies (relaxation techniques [ 49 ], mindfulness techniques, and philosophical and moral reflections [ 50 ]) have been associated with better psychological wellbeing in children during COVID-19. In our findings, children who engaged in regular physical activity (e.g., socially distanced bicycle riding with friends) or practiced mindfulness, found those activities to be helpful in coping with stress, boredom, and loneliness.…”

Emerging evidence suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic and associated public health measures, including lockdowns and school closures, have been negatively affecting school-aged children’s psychological wellbeing. To identify supports required to mitigate the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, we gathered in-depth information on school-aged children’s and parents’ lived experiences of COVID-19 and perceptions of its impact on psychological wellbeing in grade 4–6 students in Canada. In this qualitative study, we conducted telephone-based semi-structured interviews with parents (n = 15) and their children (n = 16) from six schools in small and mid-sized northern prairie communities in Canada. Interviews were analyzed through thematic analysis. Three interrelated themes have emerged. First, the start of COVID-19 brought sudden and stressful changes to children’s lives. Second, disruptions to daily life led to feelings of boredom and lack of purpose. Third, limited opportunities for social interaction led to loneliness and an increase in screen time to seek social connection with peers. Results underscore the need for resilience building and the promotion of positive coping strategies to help school-aged children thrive in the event of future health crises or natural disasters.

“…At the time the current study was written (April, 2021), the effect of Covid-19 was still continuing on the world, and the pandemic has caused various physical and psychological problems in high school students, as well as in individuals of all ages. Previous study results showed positive correlation with participation in physical activity and psychological resilience and negative correlation with leisure boredom (Dursun et al, 2021 ) during the Covid-19 lock down. Therefore, increased participation in physical activity and exercise during this period will increase the physical, psychological and sociological benefits we will derive from our leisure experience especially for female high school students.…”

“…Researches on PA during COVID-19 show that it was associated with higher resilience [46,63], less negative affect [23,37,46], and better psychological wellbeing [64,65]. Although there have been kinds studies in the literature revealing the association between PA and general negative affect such as depression and anxiety, the relationship between PA and PHENA is still unclear.…”

In this study, we explored the relationship between physical activity (PA), coping style (CS) and negative affect caused by public health emergencies (PHENA), to examine if CS can play a mediating role between PA and PHENA, and analyzed the different effects of positive coping (PC) and negative coping (NC). Using the method of random sampling, 700 students from four universities in Beijing and Shanghai were recruited to complete questionnaires about PA, CS and PHENA. Data collection was conducted through online and offline questionnaires. Firstly, there is a significant correlation between PA, CS and PHENA. Secondly, PA can negatively predict PHENA, and PA has positive impact on PC and negative impact on NC. Thirdly, the mediating role of NC related to PHENA is significant, the mediating role of PC related to PHENA is not significant. College students’ participation in physical activity can reduce the probability of adopting negative coping mechanisms, thereby alleviating the PHENA.
