“…Moreover, the 25% of participants increased their level of PA during the COVID-19 quarantine, regardless of their gender. The latter finding could be due to the availability of more free time during the quarantine period, in line with the literature reporting that the lack of free time represents an obstacle to the practice of PA [50,51].…”

“…However, it is unclear to what extent changes in these behaviors may influence pain in specific population groups, such as schoolteachers, among whom CMP is highly prevalent [10,15,16]. Previous cross-sectional analyses with Brazilian teachers identified a significant association between a higher frequency of physical inactivity and chronic pain [17] and the highest chance of pain in TV watchers for more than an hour daily [15]. In another cross-sectional study with Chinese teachers, the practice of physical exercise for seven hours or more per week was associated with a lower prevalence of musculoskeletal pain [10].…”

“…Porém, é importante destacar que a média de idade da população em estudo é relativamente alta (45 anos), o que pode ser um fator relevante, visto que o nível de AF diminui com o aumento da idade 13 . Esse destaque é corroborado por estudo que avaliou a AF de professores da rede pública de ensino de Londrina (PR), o qual identificou que apenas 28,1% dos docentes eram classificados como ativos no lazer, sendo verificado diferença significativa entre homens (37,3%) e mulheres (23,9) 14 . Esse resultado confronta a teoria de que a localização geográfica é o fator determinante no nível de AF, visto que ambos os estudos foram realizados no Sul no Brasil.…”

“…Esse resultado confronta a teoria de que a localização geográfica é o fator determinante no nível de AF, visto que ambos os estudos foram realizados no Sul no Brasil. Dessa forma, surge a hipótese de que essa diferença nas proporções possa ser explicada pelo fato de um grupo ser docente no nível superior e outro no ensino fundamental, ou ainda, pelo fato dos participantes desta pesquisa serem profissionais da área da saúde e possivelmente possuírem melhores condições financeiras 13,14 .…”
