Abstract

This study examines the stressor-response process in physical activity among 226 participants across four countries. We analyzed their step count collected via activity monitors before and after a significant stressor: the COVID-19 lockdown. Results showed that a 'local dynamic complexity' metric significantly predicts the rate of recovery to pre-COVID levels of physical activity. These findings provide new opportunities for just-in-time interventions to support physical activity recovery after disruptive stressors.

使用来自活动监视器的步数数据预测压力后的恢复情况。

本研究调查了来自四个国家的226名参与者在体育活动中的应激反应过程。我们分析了他们在一个重大压力源（COVID-19封锁）前后通过活动监测器收集的步数。结果表明，“局部动态复杂性”指标可以显著预测身体活动恢复到covid前水平的速度。这些发现为及时干预提供了新的机会，以支持破坏性压力源后的身体活动恢复。
