Abstract

Objectives

Digital platforms (e.g., Facebook®, YouTube®) were a potential alternative for supporting physical activity (PA) practice during the COVID-19 pandemic. We examined the association between the use of digital platforms for PA practice and the trajectory of depressive and anxiety symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic in adults.

Methods

We analyzed data from the PAMPA cohort, a longitudinal study in southern Brazil. Participants (n = 663) were asked about the type of platform (social media, streaming, fitness app) they used for PA during the pandemic. Depressive and anxiety symptoms were examined in waves June 2020 (wave one) to June 2022 (wave four).

Results

Participants were mostly female (79.5%), with a mean age of 37.6 (SD: 13.5) years. Four in ten adults (n = 271) reported use of digital platforms for physical activity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using digital platforms for PA was associated with a faster decline in depressive symptoms over follow-up. Participants who used digital platforms for PA in wave two showed less frequent depressive symptoms in wave three compared to their counterparts. The use of streaming services and WhatsApp for PA practice were associated with a faster decline in depressive symptoms during the pandemic. There was no interaction between the use of digital platforms and anxiety symptoms.

Conclusion

Using digital platforms for PA practice was associated with an attenuated trajectory of depressive symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic in adults.

在新冠肺炎大流行期间，使用数字平台进行体育活动练习减轻了抑郁症状的轨迹：PAMPA队列的发现

目的在新冠肺炎大流行期间，数字平台（如Facebook®、YouTube®）是支持体育活动（PA）实践的潜在替代方案。我们研究了在新冠肺炎大流行期间，使用数字平台进行PA实践与成人抑郁和焦虑症状轨迹之间的关联。方法我们分析了来自PAMPA队列的数据，这是一项在巴西南部进行的纵向研究。参与者（n=663）被问及他们在疫情期间用于PA的平台类型（社交媒体、流媒体、健身应用程序）。抑郁和焦虑症状在2020年6月（第一波）至2022年6月的第四波中进行了检查。结果参与者多为女性（79.5%），平均年龄37.6岁（SD:13.5）。十分之四的成年人（n=271）报告称，在新冠肺炎大流行期间，他们使用数字平台进行体育活动。使用数字平台进行PA与随访中抑郁症状的快速下降有关。与其他参与者相比，在第二波中使用数字平台进行PA的参与者在第三波中表现出较少的抑郁症状。在疫情期间，使用流媒体服务和WhatsApp进行PA练习与抑郁症状的快速下降有关。数字平台的使用与焦虑症状之间没有交互作用。结论在新冠肺炎大流行期间，使用数字平台进行PA实践与成年人抑郁症状的减轻轨迹相关。
