“…According to the positive association between the time spent on sports and subjective psychological well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic, our results are in line with several other studies [14,15,51,52,[72][73][74][75]. However, in this study, this association was also found in all three waves of the pandemic.…”

“…According to several research results, physical activity and sport have a significant positive impact on well-being [45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52]. Whilst some studies have focused on the impact of physical activity [15,47,[53][54][55], others have focused on the impact of sports [2,45,46,[56][57][58], but their results were in agreement.…”

“…Studies conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic have strengthened the evidence of the positive impact of physical activity on subjective psychological well-being in the significantly changed psychosocial and environmental conditions as well. The subjective psychological well-being of the inactive population and groups with low physical activity was, on average, more unfavorable than those with higher physical activity [15,52,66,72]. According to these studies, the decrease in physical activity impacts subjective psychological well-being negatively and it is independent of the individual's fitness level [15].…”

(1) Background: In this study, sport and subjective psychological well-being is investigated in three waves of the COVID-19 pandemic. (2) Methods: We have conducted three different representative sample surveys (n = 3600 altogether) on the Hungarian adult population and investigated the sample’s subjective psychological well-being with the WHO-5 Well-Being Index, as well as changes in their subjective well-being through the different waves of the pandemic. Sporting habits and socio-economic variables were also surveyed, and OLS regression models were created focused on the WHO-5 measures. (3) Results: The subjective psychological well-being of the Hungarian adult population decreased significantly, but in the second and third wave of pandemic restrictions, an increase in subjective psychological well-being has been measured. The relationships between the time spent on doing sports and subjective psychological well-being were significant in each pandemic waves. The highest subjective psychological well-being and its highest increase were reported by those who could increase their time spent on doing sports as well. (4) Conclusions: The relationships between the sports activities, physical health, size of settlement, changes in income and subjective psychological well-being of the Hungarian adult population were significant in all three waves of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…A recent Italian study found that onset as well as exacerbation of musculoskeletal pain in university students was correlated with low levels of physical activity forced upon by measures associated with containment of the pandemic [17] . Furthermore, a recent review revealed that lower levels of wellbeing are associated with lower levels of physical activity, which may be detrimental to mental health [20] .…”

“…Lo anterior, generó cambios bruscos en la rutina diaria, sumado a las limitaciones ambientales, las medidas de confinamiento domiciliario adoptadas y la incertidumbre sobre la fecha de regreso a las actividades habituales afectaron la salud mental y las actividades deportivas en los atletas (Hossien, 2021;Marconcin et al, 2022). Debido a estas medidas, las competencias, entrenamientos y actividades deportivas fueron cancelados durante gran parte de este período (Symanzik et al, 2022). Esta situación podría haber afectado la salud física y mental de los jóvenes deportistas (Batalla-Gavalda, 2021) pudiendo en algunos casos, haber generado niveles moderados y altos de estrés (Batalla-Gavalda et al, 2021;Leguizamo et al, 2021;Symanzik et al, 2022), depresión (Batalla-Gavalda et al, 2021;Zang et al, 2020) y ansiedad (Batalla-Gavalda et al, 2021;Sutton 2020).…”

Objetivo: Comparar el estado de ánimo en un grupo de adultos físicamente activos (FA) entrenados de forma remota durante un periodo de cuarentena por COVID-19 y un grupo de adultos inactivos físicamente (IF). Métodos: Fue aplicada la Escala de Valoración del Estado de Ánimo (EVEA) a ambos grupos, FA (n = 15), edad 23±3,7 años de un club de cheerleading y a un grupo IF (n=15) edad 27±2,4 años, en dos ocasiones con un tiempo de separación de un mes. Se recopilaron datos, en ambos periodos, de estado de ánimo (EA), específicamente ansiedad, tristeza, alegría e ira. Fueron comparados los EA entre grupos en dos periodos y EA por grupo en cada periodo. Si el p-valor (sig) es menor a 0,05, se establece la presencia de diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre mediciones y los grupos. Para calcular el tamaño del efecto (TE) de la diferencia, se aplicó la prueba d de Cohen. Resultados: Arrojaron en ambas mediciones que FA presentó en comparación a IF menos ansiedad (p = 0,00; TE 1,37; p = 0,00; TE 2,07), tristeza (p = 0,06; TE 0,57; p = 0,00; TE 1,99) e ira (p = 0,00; TE 0,77; p = 0,00; TE 3,43), y mayor alegría (p = 0,01, TE 0,98; p = 0,00; TE 3,60) respectivamente. Además, FA en la 2ª medición disminuyó la tristeza (p = 0,25, TE 0,45) y la ira (p = 0,05, TE 0,57) y aumentó la alegría (p = 0,05; TE 0,75), mientras que IF aumentó la ira (p = 0.00; TE 2,11) y disminuyó la alegría (p = 0,12, TE 1,07). Conclusión: FA presento mejor estado de ánimo que IF en ambas mediciones durante la pandemia COVID-19, y disminuyó EA negativo y aumentó EA positivo, dando cuenta de los efectos positivos del ejercicio físico sobre EA. Palabras claves: Estado de ánimo, COVID-19, Nivel de actividad física, Pandemia, Cheerleading. Abstract. Objective: To compare mood in a group of physically active adults (PA) trained remotely during a COVID-19 quarantine period and a group of physically inactive adults (IF). Methods: The Mood Rating Scale (EVEA) was applied to both groups, PA (n = 15), age 23±3.7 years of a cheerleading club and to a group IF (n = 15) age 27±2.4 years, on two occasions with a separation time of one month. Data were collected, in both periods, on mood, specifically anxiety, sadness, joy and anger. Mood was compared between groups in two periods and mood by group in each period. If the p-value (sig) is less than 0.05, the presence of statistically significant differences between measurements and groups is established. To calculate the effect size (TE) of the difference, Cohen's d-test was applied. Results: Both measures showed that PA presented less anxiety compared to IF (p = 0.00; ES 1.37; p = 0.00; ES 2.07), sadness (p = 0.06; ES 0.57; p = 0.00; ES 1.99) and anger (p = 0.00; ES 0.77; p = 0.00; ES 3.43), and greater joy (p = 0.01, ES 0.98; p = 0.00; ES 3,60) respectively. In addition, PA in the 2nd measurement decreased sadness (p = 0.25, ES 0.45) and anger (p = 0.05, ES 0.57) and increased joy (p = 0.05; ES 0.75), while IF increased anger (p = 0.00; ES 2.11) and decreased joy (p = 0.12, ES 1.07). Conclusion: PA presented better mood than IF in both measures during the COVID-19 pandemic, and decreased negative mood and increased positive mood, accounting for the positive effects of physical exercise on mood. Keywords: Mood, COVID-19, Physical activity level, Pandemic, Cheerleading.
