“…Using wearable sensors to continuously track personal location and PA, Kouis et al assessed changes in mobility of asthmatic children in Cyprus and Greece, reporting an overall increase of time spent at home and a decrease of PA level ( 27 ). In Israel, a study using an electronic questionnaire submitted during lockdown (March–May 2020) to caregivers of children and adolescents with asthma and other chronic respiratory disorders demonstrated that patients aged >5 years had increased screen time, and decreased PA compared to their younger counterparts ( p = 0.008 and p < 0.001, respectively) ( 28 ).…”
