Abstract

This study investigated the impact of Coronavirus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19) restrictions on perceived health and wellbeing of young Australian sport and physical activity participants. A survey was conducted during the first COVID-19 restrictions and lockdowns in Australia (May–June 2020). Health measures were tabulated against five respondent characteristics, including settings and modes of sport and physical activity, and comparisons made with chi-square tests. Findings indicate that male youth were significantly more likely to report better physical (p = .001), general (p = .014), and mental (p ≤ .001) health compared to female youth. Individuals involved in both team and individual sport reported significantly better general (p = .022) and physical health (p = .003) compared to those involved in individual only sports or physical activity. While it is unclear if this is dose-related, team-based sport may encourage increased time in physical activity (i.e., dose) or social interactions, or a combination of both factors, which potentially buffers against declining health outcomes due to pandemic restrictions.

COVID-19限制对澳大利亚年轻体育和体育活动参与者感知健康和福祉的影响

本研究调查了2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)限制对澳大利亚年轻体育和体育活动参与者感知健康和福祉的影响。在澳大利亚首次COVID-19限制和封锁期间(2020年5月至6月)进行了一项调查。根据受访者的五个特征(包括运动和体育活动的环境和模式)将健康措施制成表格，并用卡方检验进行比较。研究结果表明，与女性青年相比，男性青年更有可能报告更好的身体(p = .001)、一般(p = .014)和精神(p≤.001)健康。与只参加个人运动或体育活动的人相比，参加团队和个人运动的人报告的总体健康(p = 0.022)和身体健康(p = 0.003)明显更好。虽然尚不清楚这是否与剂量有关，但以团队为基础的体育运动可能会鼓励增加体力活动(即剂量)或社交互动的时间，或两种因素的结合，这可能会缓冲由于大流行限制而导致的健康结果下降。
