“…COVID-19 pandemic caused changes in habits related with hygiene, nutrition, exercise, and so on. [ 68 ] For instance, studies examining children [ 69 ] and adults [ 70 ] reported that there was a recovery in PA levels of children and adults after the lockdown was released; however, this level could not reach the same level before the pandemic. Other topics that attracted the interest of researchers were the way COVID-19 affected PA habits [ 71 , 72 ] and the relationship between COVID-19 based anxiety and sleeping pattern [ 73 , 74 ] and the sample consisted of individuals in childhood period.…”

Background: Containment measures implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic have led to drastic changes in daily life and effects on health behaviors such as decrease in physical activity (PA) levels. This study aims to present a general framework to researchers on COVID-19 and PA research in relation with changes in studies within years, current trend topics, gaps in the research field and possible future trends. Methods: A total of 1819 articles indexed in the WoS core collection database were analyzed according to publication year, citation, country and institution collaborations, coword, co-citation networks, concept–topic trends and topic clusters using bibliometric analysis. Results: The most productive country was the USA(n = 335), and the most productive institution was University of London in UK (n = 38). The most cited publication was the study by Ammar et al, (2020) (n = 188). In 2020, the most popular topics were PA and health meanwhile in 2021 behavior, lifestyle, social media and in 2022 habits, long COVID, sleep quality topics were in the foreground. Studies in 2023 focus on how COVID-19 affects PA habits and the associations between COVID-19-based anxiety and sleep patterns. These studies focused especially on effects of sport participation on life quality, diet, depression, mental health on young athletes, children, adolescent persons, older adult groups. Conclusions: An important gap in the study area is research on effect of changing lifestyle due to pandemic on individuals and the society during the Post COVID-19 period. If benefits of PA will not be limited to only physical benefits and psychological emotional, cognitive and social benefits are also taken into consideration, it is important that researchers conduct long-term and widescale observations.

“…However, to date there is very little published regarding the period post-COVID-19 restrictions, either about participation patterns or health outcomes for the general population. There are reports that whilst some individuals have returned to pre-COVID participation levels, with a newfound enjoyment for being physically active, others are now less active, with some continuing sedentary behaviours that became habitual during restrictions (20,21). The nancial impact of COVID-19 has also been a signi cant barrier to many returning to playing sport (6, 22,23).…”

Background: Internationally, COVID-19 restrictions impacted negatively on participation in sport and physical activity. Participation in community club sport was particularly disrupted with cancelled training and competitions, and this has been shown to impact the health of individuals. We now need to investigate the effects of the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions. Aim: The aim of this study was to longitudinally investigate the health of Australian adult sports club participants, during and post-COVID-19 restrictions. Methods: Two waves of an online survey were conducted in mid-2020 and mid-2021. The first wave also captured retrospective pre-COVID19 (2019) data. For each year 2019-2021 each survey respondent was categorized as participating (Yes/No) in club sport. Respondents also assessed their current health (overall, physical and mental) in both 2020 and 2021. The six health assessments were cross-tabulated against three patterns of participation (dropout, dropout and return, continuation), for the survey sample overall and for six demographic subsamples: 42 crosstabulations in all. Results: A total of 1,037 Australians aged 18 years and above completed both survey waves. Those who continued playing club sport throughout, and to a lesser degree those who returned to club sport in 2021, reported better physical and general health than those who dropped out. This pattern was consistent, for the overall survey sample and for the sub-samples based on gender, age and region of residence, with statistically significantly associations (p<0.05) in 24 of 28 analyses. The pattern of club sport participation was only weakly associated with reported mental health, with only one of 14 associations being statistically significant. Conclusion: Changes in club sport participation impact general and physical health of adults; continuation or return were associated with better physical and general health than drop-out. There was little evidence of an association between participation in sport and mental health, which is inconsistent with previously reported cross-sectional results; this may be due to a combination of factors, including confounding with the broader effects of the pandemic. In conclusion, it is clear that retention in participation in sport is not just important for sports management policy and strategies; it is also important for the health of individuals.
