Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of COVID-19 on physical activity, perceived stress, awareness of physical activity, and exercise barriers nationally. Methods: The survey was sent on-line and data were collected from 1087 volunteers between May 8 and May 31, 2020. The physical activity levels of the respondents were evaluated with the Physical Activity (PA) Questionnaire-Short Form and stress levels with the Perceived Stress Scale. The awareness of exercise and barriers to exercise were questioned with qualitative questions. One-way ANOVA, the Chi-squared test, and Pearson Correlation analysis were used to evaluate the data. Results: During the COVID-19, 70% of adults had inadequate PA. It was observed that the stress level was different in terms of PA levels (p<0.001), and individuals with low-intensity PA levels had higher stress levels. The stress levels and inactivity levels of females were higher than those of males, and the 18-29 age group had a higher stress level (p<0.001). There was a weak negative correlation between stress level and PA (p<0.001), and between PA and sitting time, whereas a weak positive correlation was found between stress level and sitting time (p<0.001). Conclusion: The precautions taken during the COVID-19 outbreak in Turkey were seen to have a negative effect on physical activity and stress levels, and the most affected groups in this outbreak were females and young adults. Home-based exercises can support the protection of physical and mental health, and avoid the risk of inactivity-related health problems during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Özet

aktivite farkındalığı ve egzersiz yapmama nedenleri üzerindeki etkisini araştırmak amaçlandı. Yöntem: Anket online olarak gönderildi ve veriler 8-31 Mayıs 2020 tarihleri arasında 1087 gönüllünün katılımı ile toplandı. Katılımcıların fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi (UFAA)-Kısa Formu ile, stres düzeyleri Algılanan Stres Ölçeği ile değerlendirildi. Egzersiz farkındalığı ve egzersiz yapmama nedenleri ise nitel sorularla sorgulandı. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde tek yönlü ANOVA, Ki-kare testi ve Pearson Korelasyon analizi kullanıldı. Sonuçlar: COVID-19 salgını sırasında, yetişkinlerin %70'inin yetersiz FA değerlerine sahip olduğu saptandı. Farklı FA düzeylerine sahip bireylerin stres düzeyinin de farklılık gösterdiği (p <0.001) ve düşük şiddetli FA düzeyine sahip bireylerin daha yüksek stres düzeylerine sahip olduğu bulundu. Kadınların erkeklere göre daha yüksek stres ve inaktivite düzeyine, 18-29 yaşları arasındaki bireylerin ise diğer yaş gruplarına göre daha yüksek stres düzeyine sahip olduğu saptandı (p <0.001). Tartışma: Türkiye'de COVID-19 salgını sırasında alınan önlemlerin fiziksel aktivite ve stres düzeylerini olumsuz etkilediği görüldü ve bu salgından en çok etkilenen grupların kadınlar ve genç yetişkinler olduğu saptandı. COVID-19 salgını sırasında uygulanabilecek ev egzersiz programları, fiziksel ve zihinsel sağlığın korunmasını destekleyebilir ve hareketsizlikle ilişkili sağlık sorunlarının oluşma riskini önleyebilir.
