Abstract

Background: Sports management and public health physical activity stakeholders need to understand changing patterns of participation to inform the development of sport and physical activity opportunities and strategies. This study investigated changes in the frequency and duration of participation in sport and physical activity in Australia from pre-COVID-19 to during-COVID-19, broken down by the specific type of activity and by gender, age and region.

Methods: During the first pandemic restrictions and lockdowns in Australia in May-June 2020, 6140 survey respondents provided information about the types, frequency and duration of the sport and physical activity they participated in prior to and during COVID-19 restrictions. Differences between mean values were analyzed.

Results: The greatest decline in participation during COVID-19 was in team sports, and the decline was greater for men than for women.

Conclusion: How will sport respond to getting these men back in the game, and women back from home-based yoga and Pilates?

COVID-19限制对澳大利亚人参加不同类型运动和体育活动的频率和持续时间的影响。

背景：体育管理和公共卫生体育活动利益相关者需要了解不断变化的参与模式，以便为体育和体育活动机会和战略的发展提供信息。本研究调查了澳大利亚人从2019冠状病毒病前到2019冠状病毒病期间参加体育运动和体育活动的频率和持续时间的变化，并按具体活动类型、性别、年龄和地区进行了细分。方法：在2020年5月至6月澳大利亚第一次大流行限制和封锁期间，6140名调查受访者提供了他们在COVID-19限制之前和期间参加的运动和身体活动的类型、频率和持续时间的信息。分析平均值之间的差异。结果：在2019冠状病毒病期间，参加团体运动的人数下降幅度最大，男性的下降幅度大于女性。结论：体育界将如何回应让这些男性重返赛场，让这些女性从家庭瑜伽和普拉提中回归？
