Abstract

ABSTRACT COVID-19 disrupted older adults’ physical and social participation. We examined changes in social participation and physical activity during COVID-19 and perceptions of precautionary measures and online or outdoor classes in 155 older adults (M age = 70.50 ± 4.62 years). Patrons at Calgary recreation centers ≥ 65 years recruited via e-mail were surveyed between August-September 2020. Social participation (p <0.01) and resistance (p <0.01) and flexibility (p =0.03) physical activity declined. Mild physical activity increased (p =0.03). 33.57% attended online classes. Most precautionary measures were endorsed. Understanding behavior and receptivity to precautions helps providers adapt to COVID-19.

新冠肺炎期间老年人的体育活动和社会参与

摘要新冠肺炎扰乱了老年人的身体和社会参与。我们研究了新冠肺炎期间社会参与和体育活动的变化，以及155名老年人（M年龄=70.50±4.62岁）对预防措施和在线或户外课程的看法。在2020年8月至9月期间，通过电子邮件招募的卡尔加里娱乐中心≥65岁的顾客接受了调查。社会参与度（p<0.01）、抵抗力（p<0.01）和灵活性（p=0.03）体力活动下降。轻度体力活动增加（p=0.03）。33.57%的人参加了在线课程。大多数预防措施都得到赞同。了解行为和对预防措施的接受度有助于提供者适应新冠肺炎。

Established as the primary journal for activity professionals, Activities, Adaptation & Aging provides a professional outlet for research regarding the therapeutic implications of activities on quality-of-life issues and overall life satisfaction for the elderly. The journal examines a wide spectrum of activities: activity-based intervention for persons with dementia; activity determinants in independent-living elderly; activity implications in a variety of settings; activity participation patterns; and activity implications for everyday practice.
