体育活动对儿童的健康发展至关重要，但COVID-19对身体距离的限制，如学校关闭和呆在家里，游乐场关闭，以及取消有组织的社区体育活动，大大改变了儿童进行体育活动的机会。这项研究描述了自2020年2月以来身体活动水平和屏幕时间的变化（即，在西澳大利亚州引入COVID-19限制之前）至2020年5月（即，当COVID-19限制到位时）。来自西澳大利亚州的5至9岁儿童的父母有资格参加，并通过方便抽样招募。一个在线调查工具，包括验证措施，他们的孩子的身体活动（非结构化，有组织的，以家庭为基础，室内/室外积极发挥，狗玩/散步），社会人口，和其他潜在的混杂因素管理的父母。配对t检验和混合ANOVA模型评估了体力活动结果的变化。分析样本包括157名儿童的父母，平均年龄为6.9岁（SD = 1.7）。总体而言，从COVID-19之前到COVID-19期间，每周总体力活动（PA）分钟数没有变化。然而，非结构化体力活动的频率和持续时间（总的和以家庭为基础的）显着增加。在房子周围的院子或街道上进行户外玩耍，在公园或操场或户外娱乐区进行户外玩耍，以及在家中进行活跃的室内玩耍都显着增加。在COVID-19隔离期间，有组织的身体活动的频率和总持续时间显著下降。在西澳大利亚州COVID-19限制期间，幼儿的非结构性体育活动和户外游戏增加，而有组织的体育活动减少。随着身体距离限制的放松，儿童身体活动的增加是否得到了维持，还有待观察。
Physical activity is essential for children’s healthy development, yet COVID-19 physical distancing restrictions such as school closures and staying at home, playground closures, and the cancelling of organised community sport have dramatically altered children’s opportunities to be physically active. This study describes changes in levels of physical activity and screen time from February 2020 (i.e., before COVID-19 restrictions were introduced in Western Australia) to May 2020 (i.e., when COVID-19 restrictions were in place). Parents of children aged 5 to 9 years from Western Australia were eligible to participate and recruited through convenience sampling. An online survey instrument that included validated measures of their children’s physical activity (unstructured, organized, home-based, indoor/outdoor active play, dog play/walking), sociodemographic, and other potential confounders was administered to parents. Paired t-tests and mixed ANOVA models assessed changes in physical activity outcomes. The analytic sample comprised parents of 157 children who were 6.9 years of age (SD = 1.7) on average. Overall, weekly minutes of total physical activity (PA) did not change from before to during COVID-19. However, frequency and duration (total and home-based) of unstructured physical activity significantly increased. Outdoor play in the yard or street around the house, outdoor play in the park or playground or outdoor recreation area, and active indoor play at home all significantly increased. Frequency and total duration of organised physical activity significantly declined during COVID-19 distancing. During Western Australian COVID-19 restrictions, there was an increase in young children’s unstructured physical activity and outdoor play and a decrease in organised physical activity. It remains to be seen whether children’s increased physical activity has been sustained with the easing of physical distancing restrictions.
