Youth—but not adults—reported less physical activity during the COVID-19 pandemic / by Jenny Watt and Rachel C. Colley.: CS45-28/1-2021-35E-PDF
"The COVID-19 pandemic has been accompanied by various physical distancing measures (e.g., school closures, work-from-home policies), and prolonged restrictions may lead to reduced engagement in physical activity. Results from two Canadian studies suggest that physical activity decreased among Canadian adults during the initial months of the pandemic. Another study finds that physical activity among adults decreased initially but later returned to pre-pandemic levels. The current study compares data from fall 2018 (pre-COVID) to fall 2020 (during COVID) to examine changes in physical activity for youth (aged 12 to 17), adults (aged 18 to 64), and older adults (aged 65 and older)."
