Can physical activity protect against depression and anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic? A rapid systematic review

“…Of the identi ed studies, 21 studies meet the criteria [9, 23-34, 5, 35-37, 6, 38-40]. Four studies had a prospective longitudinal design [26,29,39,36], one was a cross-sectional study with a retrospective measure of the exposure factor (henceforth treated as retrospective) [5], and 16 were crosssectional studies [9, 23-25, 27, 29-35, 37, 6, 38, 40, 28, 41]. A total of 7 studies were conducted in Asia [24,25,27,30,33,39,40], 6 in Europe [9,26,31,32,35,36], 3 in South America [28,29,6], 3 in North America [23,34,5], one in Oceania [38] and one study included a multinational sample [37].…”

“…Out of 9 studies reporting analyses on the association between the overall volume of PA and depression, 6 studies showed that more PA is signi cantly associated with less depression symptoms [23,25,32,33,35,37], and 3 out of 8 studies investigating the association between the overall volume of PA and anxiety symptoms showed that more PA is signi cantly associated with less anxiety symptoms [25,32,35]. 3 out of 5 studies reported higher frequencies of PA to be signi cantly associated with less depression [27,29,36] and 2 out of 4 studies to be signi cantly associated with less anxiety [27,29]. One study showed that vigorous but not moderate PA is signi cantly associated with less depression and anxiety symptoms [6] and another study indicated that light and vigorous PA is signi cantly correlated with less depression, but moderate intensity was not [23].…”

Early evidence and predictors of mental distress of adults one month in the COVID-19 epidemic in Brazil

“…However, perceived risk of contagion was not a significant predictor of distress [ 13 ]. Being females [ 10 , 11 , 14 , 15 ], lower socioeconomic status, lower educational levels [ 11 ], exposure to COVID-19 information [ 11 , 16 , 17 ], and reduced income during the pandemic were factors related to worse mental health [ 17 ].…”

O Paradoxo Do Isolamento Na Pandemia Segundo O Povo Indígena Sateré-Mawé/Am

“…O isolamento social, atualmente o único método preventivo de alta eficácia reconhecido pela Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) para a mitigação da pandemia do novo coronavírus, tem encontrado obstáculos para sua implantação no país, exigindo alto investimento de dinheiro e tempo do poder público tanto para convencer a população da necessidade da ação quanto para garantir que ela seja feita. Ademais, se por um lado, como afirma a OMS, a eficácia é certa, também há estudos que enfatizam o isolamento como 7 ISSN 1807-0310 impulsionador de estados de sofrimento psíquico (Filgueiras & Stults-Kolehmainen, 2020;Reger, Stanley, & Joiner, 2020;Williams, Armitage, Tampe, & Dienes, 2020).…”
