The current study was conducted to determine effects teleworking during an emergency statement as evidence for future policy development. Method This cross-sectional which we administered online questionnaire 5,214 general workers (response rate = 36.4%) from June 2020 August 2020. Based working methods pandemic, were categorized into office group (n 86) and telework 1597), characterized their demographics, changes lifestyle, status, physical symptoms, mental health.

Accordingly, recent studies already pointed out negative inactivity caused by social isolation imposed sanitary authorities due COVID-19. Nevertheless, there are still no current narrative reviews evaluating real COVID-19 or even discussing possible exercise-promoted upgrade against severity progression Based consensus scientific literature, this review, we discuss how exercise adherence could adequately improve responses times 'COVID-19 Era beyond'.

Train at home, but not alone: a randomised controlled multicentre trial assessing the effects of live-streamed tele-exercise during COVID-19-related lockdowns

British Journal of Sports Medicine, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 56(12), С. 667 - 675

Опубликована: Фев. 15, 2022

Public life restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic caused reductions in physical activity (PA) and decreases mental somatic health. Considering interplay between these factors, we investigated effects of digital home exercise (DHE) during government-enforced lockdowns.A multicentre randomised controlled trial was performed allocating healthy individuals from nine countries (N=763; 523 female) to a DHE or an inactive control group. During 4-week main intervention, members engaged live-streamed multicomponent exercise. Subsequently, both groups had access prerecorded workouts for additional 4 weeks. Outcomes, assessed weekly, included PA level (Nordic Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short), anxiety (Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7), well-being (WHO-5 Questionnaire), sleep quality (Medical Outcome Study Sleep Scale), pain/disability (Chronic Pain Grade Scale) motivation (Self-Concordance Scale). Mixed models were used analysis.Live-streamed consistently increased moderate (eg, week 1: 1.65 times more minutes per week, 95% CI 1.40 1.94) vigorous 1.31 1.08 1.61), although decreased over time. In addition, motivation, slightly improved live streaming period. The same applied (mean difference at 4: +0.99, 0.13 1.86), but inverted trend observed after substituted by exercise.Live-streamed represents efficacious method enhance selected markers health pandemic-related public restrictions. However, research on implementation is warranted reduce dropout rates.DRKS00021273.
