Abstract

Objectives: This article compares the impact of COVID-19-related restrictions on the level of physical activity, performed by public servants, in April and November 2020.

Methods: The survey examined the amount (in minutes per week) and the energy expenditure (in metabolic equivalent of task in minutes per week [METmin/week]) of physical activity for both before and during contact restrictions in April and November 2020, respectively.

Results: Especially for sports activity difference was determined by the medians before (April/November: median [Mdn] = 180.0 min/wk) and during (April: Mdn = 130 minutes, November: Mdn = 60 min/wk) restrictions ( P < 0.05).Also for energy consumption (METmin/wk), the medians before and during the contact restrictions declined for both periods.

Conclusions: Measures against the coronavirus have led to a reduction in activity levels among public employees, regardless of their work environment. The decrease in participation in sport activities seemed to be even more noticeable within the second restriction period.

covid -19相关限制对公职人员体育活动影响的比较

目的:本文比较了2020年4月和11月与covid -19相关的限制对公务员身体活动水平的影响。方法:该调查分别检查了2020年4月和11月接触限制之前和期间的身体活动量(以每周分钟为单位)和能量消耗(以每周任务代谢当量[METmin/week]为单位)。结果:特别是运动活动差异由限制前(4月/ 11月:median [Mdn] = 180.0 min/wk)和限制期间(4月:Mdn = 130 min/wk, 11月:Mdn = 60 min/wk)的中位数决定(P < 0.05)。此外，对于能源消耗(METmin/wk)，在接触限制之前和期间的中位数在两个时期都有所下降。结论:针对冠状病毒的措施导致公共雇员的活动水平下降，无论他们的工作环境如何。在第二个限制期内，参加体育活动的人数减少似乎更为明显。
