“…France instituted a severe lockdown from 17 March to 11 May and again from 28 October to 15 December, where exercise was limited to within 1km of one's residence for less than one hour per day during the first lockdown [26]. Interestingly, the activity levels of 2020 resemble that of 2019 for the period between March through June, suggesting that French users took advantage of their allotted 1-hour time to exercise during lockdowns, and lockdown did not have a large impact on the frequency of PA.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in government restrictions that altered the lifestyle of people worldwide. Studying the impact of these restrictions on exercise behaviors will improve our understanding of the environmental factors that influence individuals’ physical activity (PA). We conducted a retrospective analysis using an stringency index of government pandemic policies developed by Oxford University and digitally-logged PA data from more than 7000 runners collected using a wearable exercise-tracking device to compare the relationship between strictness of lockdowns and exercise habits on a global scale. Additionally, the time-of-day of PA globally, and activity-levels of PA in 14 countries, are compared between the pre-pandemic year of 2019 and the first pandemic year of 2020. We found that during the pandemic year there was a major shift in the time-of-day that runners exercised, with significantly more activity counts logged during standard working hours on workdays (p < 0.001) and fewer activities during the same time frame on weekends (p < 0.001). Of the countries examined, Italy and Spain had among the most strict lockdowns and suffered the largest decreases in activity counts, whereas France experienced a minimal decrease in activity counts despite enacting a strict lockdown with certain allowances. This study suggests that there are several factors affecting PA of dedicated runners, including government policy, workplace policy, and cultural norms.

This study suggests that there are several factors affecting PA, including government policy, workplace policy, and cultural norms.
