Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction: In order to face COVID-19, social restriction measures were adopted that influenced the population's living habits, increasing sedentary lifestyle. Considering the high complexity and dedication required by the Medicine course, it becomes relevant to investigate the effect of the pandemic on the practice of physical exercise and sedentary behavior of these students. Objective: Identify changes in physical activity and sedentary behavior self-reported by medical students in the city of Salvador, Bahia, before and during the self-confinement imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Longitudinal, prospective, quantitative study carried out with regularly enrolled medical students over 18 years of age. A virtual, structured, anonymous, self-completed questionnaire was applied, containing sociodemographic and academic aspects. In addition, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was applied in its short version, considering the period before and during the pandemic. Through this, the level of physical activity, sedentary behavior and time spent walking and performing moderate and vigorous activities were measured. Results: 268 medical students were included, predominantly women (65.7%), white (50.0%) and mixed race (38.8%), aged 24.2 ± 5.5 years, single (90.7%), attending the clinical cycle (59.0%), in private institutions (78.4%). No statistically significant differences were identified in the level of physical activity and in the time spent with moderate and vigorous activities. However, there was a reduction in walking time (p<0.00001) and an increase in sedentary behavior (p=0.001) during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the greatest impact among women (p=0.0009). Conclusion: The repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic have been shown to increase the sedentary behavior of medical students, especially among women, and to reduce activity time spent with walking. Longitudinal studies are needed to analyze the medium and long-term consequences of this change in the healthy lifestyle habits of medical students.

医学生的久坐行为:冠状病毒大流行的影响

摘要简介:为应对新冠肺炎疫情，采取社会约束措施，影响人群的生活习惯，增加久坐生活方式。考虑到医学课程的高度复杂性和奉献性，调查大流行对这些学生体育锻炼和久坐行为的影响变得有意义。目的:了解巴伊亚州萨尔瓦多市医学生自我报告的身体活动和久坐行为在2019冠状病毒病大流行之前和期间的变化。方法:采用纵向、前瞻性、定量研究，对18岁以上的常规招生医学生进行调查。一个虚拟的，结构化的，匿名的，自我完成的问卷被应用，包含社会人口和学术方面。此外，考虑到大流行之前和期间，采用了国际身体活动问卷(IPAQ)的简短版本。通过这项研究，研究人员测量了他们的身体活动水平、久坐行为和步行时间，以及进行适度和剧烈活动的时间。结果:共纳入268名医学生，以女性(65.7%)、白人(50.0%)和混血(38.8%)为主，年龄24.2±5.5岁，单身(90.7%)，参加临床周期(59.0%)，私立机构(78.4%)。在体力活动水平和花在适度和剧烈活动上的时间方面没有统计学上的显著差异。然而，在COVID-19大流行期间，步行时间减少(p<0.00001)，久坐行为增加(p=0.001)，其中对女性的影响最大(p=0.0009)。结论:COVID-19大流行的影响已被证明增加了医学生(尤其是女性)的久坐行为，并减少了步行的活动时间。需要进行纵向研究来分析医学生健康生活习惯改变的中长期后果。证据等级II;比较前瞻性研究。
