“…Adolescents, particularly boys, are less likely to participate in PA outside of team/peer settings. 10 , 11 , 12 , 28 , 29 The current study demonstrated that PA with friends decreased for outdoor activity, suggesting families were actively abiding by social distancing mandates and restricting peer interactions.…”

Highlights Physical activity (PA) of children during the early COVID-19 response in the US was decreased compared pre-pandemic, per parent report. Changes in physical activity varied by age, with the largest changes seen in high-schoolers and less impact in preschoolers. Overall, children across all age groups were reported to have less community-based and peer PA during the pandemic, which aligned with social distancing guidelines at the time. Community leaders, educators, and parents are reminded to make PA a priority to assure children continue to receive the levels of activity necessary to promote good health.

“…One reason for this was that younger children increased outdoor independent play, while high school-aged adolescents did not ( Tulchin-Francis et al, 2021 ). Adolescents may be less likely to participate in physical activity outside of team and peer settings, particularly boys ( Saunders et al, 2018 , Tulchin-Francis et al, 2021 ). In one study, about half (52%) of U.S. adolescents reported no longer being physically active after California’s stay-at-home orders ( Chaffee et al, 2021 ).…”

This study aimed to evaluate adolescents’ moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) during the COVID-19 pandemic by sociodemographic characteristics, and to determine mental health and resiliency factors associated with MVPA among a diverse national sample of adolescents ages 10-14 years. Data were collected during the pandemic in May 2020 from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study (ABCD, N=5,153), a national prospective cohort study in the U.S. MVPA was quantified as the product of reported duration and frequency (hours per week), which was further summarized as the proportion meeting age-appropriate 2018 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. A similar estimate was generated using MVPA data collected prior to the pandemic. Mental health and resiliency measures were collected during the pandemic. Regression models examined associations between mental health or resiliency measures and MVPA during the pandemic. Median MVPA was 2 hours per week (IQR 0, 6). Overall, the percentage of the cohort meeting MVPA guidelines decreased from 16.1% (pre-pandemic) to 8.9% during the pandemic. Racial/ethnic minorities and adolescents from lower socioeconomic backgrounds were significantly less likely to meet MVPA guidelines during the pandemic. Poorer mental health, COVID-related worry, and stress were associated with lower MVPA, while more social support and coping behaviors were associated with higher MVPA during the pandemic. In this large, national sample of adolescents, the proportion of those meeting MVPA Guidelines was lower during the COVID-19 pandemic, with significant disparities by race and socioeconomic status. Interventions to promote social support and coping behaviors may improve MVPA levels among adolescents during the pandemic.

“…They mainly stated that, for a more effective public health policy, the public should be ensured to participate in physical activities. Kobau et al [35] and Saunders et al [36] also determined that, as a result of physical activities, some diseases will decrease, and this will contribute to the improvement of public health.…”

The design of elements which exert pivotal effects on leisurely physical activity (LPA) in open space is an important part of urban development. However, little research has been done about the influence and discrepancies of those elements in different types of open space. To research these issues and to guide the design of urban open space, a survey from 8 open spaces (2 curtilage, 2 neighborhood squares (NS), 2 parks, and 2 campus) is conducted and a questionnaire is administered. Simultaneous analysis of several groups (SASG) of Structure equation model (SEM) is used, and the effects and discrepancies are acquired. In addition to this situation, interval type 2 (IT2) fuzzy hybrid decision making model is proposed in the second analysis. In this framework, IT2 fuzzy decision-making trial, evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL), and IT2 fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) methods are used. The results show that the influence relationships between elements and LPA did exist in four groups. Another important conclusion is that there were discrepancies of influence among different space groups. Physical environment (PE) has the greatest influence on LPA in the curtilage, whereas facilities exert the most effect in NS group. Additionally, amenities only have significant impact in parks and facilities only exercise remarkable influence on duration on campus. In addition to them, it is also identified that key design elements are presented for different types of space and that design strategy is provided through 4 specific examples.
