Abstract

Purpose: To assess physical activity (PA), perceived exercise benefits, perceived sleep quality, anxiety and depression levels of adults who exercised and did not exercise during the pandemic. Methods: 1226 voluntary participants who lived in the community (age range 18-55 years) were included in this cross-sectional study. Demographic information was recorded, and exercise motivators and barriers were evaluated through questions prepared by the researchers. PA levels [International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF)], perception about the benefits of exercise [Exercise Benefits and Barriers Scale-Benefits Subscale (EBBS-BS)], sleep quality [Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)], and anxiety and depression levels [Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)] were assessed. Results: There were statistically significant differences in scores of IPAQ-SF, PSQI, EBBS-BS, and HADS between those who did and did not exercise (p<0.001). Fifty-two percent of the participants had low PA levels during the pandemic. It was found that the main motivating factor of exercise was to improve performance and/or strength (81.54%), and the main barrier was preferring to do other things (lack of motivation) (84.8%). Conclusion: Those with low PA levels have worse anxiety, depression, and poor sleep quality. Knowing the motivators and barriers of PA can guide the determination of intervention and prevention strategies.

Özet

Amaç: Pandemi sırasında egzersiz yapan ve yapmayan yetişkinlerin fiziksel aktivite (FA), algılanan egzersiz yararları, uyku kalitesi, anksiyete ve depresyon düzeylerini değerlendirmektir. Yöntem: Kesitsel tipteki bu çalışmaya, toplumda yaşayan (18-55 yaş aralığı) 1226 gönüllü katılımcı dahil edildi. Demografik bilgiler kaydedildi ve araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan sorularla egzersiz motivatörleri ve bariyerleri değerlendirildi. FA seviyeleri [Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi-Kısa Form UFAA-KF)], egzersizin yararları hakkında algı [Egzersiz Faydaları ve Engeller Ölçeği-Faydalar Alt Ölçeği (EFEÖ-FÖ)], uyku kalitesi [Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi (PUKİ)], anksiyete ve depresyon düzeyleri [Hastane Anksiyete ve Depresyon Ölçeği (HAD)] değerlendirildi. Sonuçlar: Egzersiz yapan ve yapmayanlar arasında UFAA-KF, PUKİ, EFEÖ-FÖ ve HAD skorlarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark vardı (p<0,001). Katılımcıların %52’si pandemi sırasında düşük FA seviyelerine sahipti. Egzersizin ana motive edici faktörünün performansı-gücü artırmak (%81,54) ve ana bariyerinin ise başka şeyler yapmayı tercih etmek (motivasyon eksikliği) (%84,8) olduğu bulundu. Tartışma: Düşük FA seviyelerine sahip yetişkinlerin anksiyete, depresyon ve uyku kalitesi skorları daha kötüydü. FA'nın motive eden faktörlerini ve bariyerlerini bilmek, müdahale ve önleme stratejilerinin belirlenmesine rehberlik edebilir.
