“…The main reasons (opportunities, motivation, time) given by our participants are consistent with the components in the COM-B system of Michie et al ( 108 ). Andersson et al ( 37 ) also mentioned that people with an extrinsic PA motivation, who engage in PA for competitive reasons or to socialize while exercising, were more negatively influenced by the crisis than individuals with an intrinsic PA motivation, who want to improve their health and sport-specific skills through PA. Furthermore, we observed that fewer people increased their PA during T4, the second lockdown in November and December 2020, than during the first lockdown in spring 2020.…”

“…In response, several articles have already been published recommending how to stay as active as possible during the COVID-19 pandemic ( 19 , 31 – 34 ). The extent to which the COVID-19 period has affected individual PA levels has also been addressed in the literature and is complex ( 30 , 35 – 37 ). On the one hand, cross-sectional surveys in many countries showed a short-term decline in PA during the initial lockdown in spring 2020 compared with the pre-COVID-19 period ( 38 – 54 ).…”

BackgroundIn Alpine regions, which are very similar due to their topographical location and their wide-ranging sports offerings, the restrictions on sports activities during the COVID-19 pandemic differed in type and level: while in some regions (Tyrol, South Tyrol, Trentino), all sports activities were forbidden except for walking near the home, in other regions (Upper Bavaria, Vorarlberg), people were allowed to go hiking and running during the first lockdown.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate the change in physical activity (PA) behavior in different Alpine regions (Upper Bavaria, Vorarlberg, Tyrol, South Tyrol, Trentino) over four periods in 2020, to examine the effects of COVID-19 measures of varying severity on PA behavior and to identify factors associated with a change in PA over time.MethodsA retrospective online survey was conducted (N = 2975) from December 2020, to January 2021. Using the questionnaire of the Eurobarometer 472 study, PA behavior was measured over four periods: before COVID-19 (March), during the first lockdown (March and April), during the relaxed period (May-October) and during the second lockdown (November and December) in 2020.ResultsDuring the first (M = 5.0h, SD = 4.5) and the second lockdowns (M = 4.9h, SD = 4.3), the participants (age: 42 years, overly active in sports) engaged less in sports than before (M = 5.9h, SD = 4.8) and during the relaxed period in summer (M = 6.4h, SD = 5.0) (average number of hours per week being physically active). A larger percentage of participants from Alpine regions with severe restrictions (Tyrol, South Tyrol, Trentino) decreased their PA during the first lockdown as compared to participants from Upper Bavaria and Vorarlberg with a less strict first lockdown. Those with psychological distress, male participants, and individuals with decreased physical health and less free time during COVID-19 were more likely to reduce their PA.ConclusionsDespite a short-term negative effect of COVID-19 restrictions on exercise participation during lockdowns, the majority of respondents returned to their original levels of PA during the relaxed COVID-19 phases. As a comparison of Alpine regions shows, particularly severe COVID-19 measures seem to have reduced PA with potential negative health effects. For the future, policy makers and sports organizations should collaborate to support the population in their PA behavior during pandemics to outweigh restrictions.

“…In the present study, WoS database, a rich data source for high quality scientific articles (Nagy et al, 2021), was employed to create the dataset. The WoS was selected since (i) it provides well-structured bibliometric data (Singh and Verma, 2022), (ii) it has a user-friendly interface (Alatli, 2020), (iii) it could export data for the software (VOSviewer) I utilized in data analysis (Andersson et al, 2021), (iv) the impact and dominance of the journals it includes in the field (Öztürk, 2021a), and (v) ease of access to the database due to university subscription. In the literature, it could be observed that most bibliometric research on COVID-19 (Islam et al, 2021;Karakose and Demirkol, 2021;Nagy et al, 2021;Utkarsh and Sigala, 2021;Wang and Tian, 2021;Zhang et al, 2022) employed the WoS database.…”

“…Furthermore, the current study was conducted with this software since it provides several visualization options, highresolution bibliometric network images, and a graphical user interface (https://www.vosviewer.com/features/highlights) that allows easy reviews of the maps. Literature review revealed that VOSviewer was the analysis tool of choice in bibliometric research on COVID-19 (Andersson et al, 2021;Gan et al, 2021;Nagy et al, 2021;Utkarsh and Sigala, 2021;Boonroungrut et al, 2022;Singh and Verma, 2022;Zhang et al, 2022), and employed to create and visualize networks based on bibliographic data.…”

“…Thus, science mapping should be employed to visualize the interactions between the scientific items (authors, studies, journals, institutions, countries, concepts, citations) in the field, creating a map of the relevant literature (Block and Fisch, 2020). The review of social sciences literature would reveal that significant bibliometric studies were conducted on COVID-19 in the fields of economics (Mahi, Mobin, Habib and Akter, 2021;Nagy et al, 2021), business and management (Verma and Gustafsson, 2020), accommodation, leisure, sports and tourism (Andersson, Jansson, Karlén and Radmann , 2021;Khan, Nasir and Saleem, 2021;Utkarsh and Sigala, 2021), media and communication (Gan, Yaacob and Latif, 2021), and education (Karakose and Demirkol, 2021;Boonroungrut, Saroinsong and Thamdee, 2022;Zhang, Carter, Qian, Yang, Rujimora and Wen, 2022). Although Singh and Verma (2022) conducted a bibliometric review that included studies published in social sciences literature during the first six months of the pandemic, no sociological bibliometric study has been conducted specifically on COVID-19.…”

Continuing to threaten human lives, COVID-19 has not only affected public health, but the social, economic and political repercussions of the health crisis deeply influenced all areas of individual and social life. Hence, academic interest in COVID-19 rapidly increased, triggering a wave of scientific research of significant dimensions within a short time. Significant number of studies published led to the exponential growth of the literature on COVID-19. In this regard, the present study aimed to present an overview of global COVID-19 research in sociology. In the study, bibliometric analysis method was employed to determine the social, intellectual and conceptual structure of the sociology literature related to COVID-19. Citation, co-citation, bibliographic coupling, co-author and coword analyzes were applied to the data set containing 890 articles obtained from the Web of Science database. A graphical depiction of the field of research was presented through the network maps obtained as a result of these analyzes using the VOSviewer software, so that the patterns in the field of research were determined with a macro-level approach. According to the results of the study, the dominant language in the field of research is English. Approximately 70% of the articles in the dataset are the joint product of two or more authors. The most influential writer in the related field is Haiyan Song, the most influential journal is European Societies, and the most influential country is the USA. Co-citation analysis has shown that theorists such as
