体力活动是促进身心健康、预防疾病的最有效途径之一，在新冠肺炎大流行期间，最重要的是增强免疫系统。平化曲线的努力导致了锻炼设施和健身房的暂时关闭，体育活动的暂停，以及避免公共娱乐空间的建议。所有这些变化使得传统的体力活动机会变得难以获得。这些变化还加剧了身体活动在获得社会和环境支持方面的现有差距，可能导致新冠肺炎最高风险人群在参与身体活动方面的差距扩大。体力活动可以在减少新冠肺炎的不公平后果方面发挥特殊作用；然而，需要扩大循证干预措施，并使其更有针对性，以解决经济和社会边缘化社区中存在的独特障碍，以实现新冠肺炎成果中的健康公平。这篇综述强调了有效和可行的战略，这些战略为美国各地的体育活动计划和空间提供了更公平的机会。随着对身体活动的新一轮投资，这种行为可以在新冠肺炎大流行期间及以后改善人口健康和缩小差距方面发挥关键作用。
Physical activity is one of the most efficacious pathways to promoting mental and physical health, preventing disease, and, most important during the COVID-19 pandemic, bolstering a stronger immune system. Efforts to “flatten the curve” have resulted in the temporary closure of exercise facilities and gyms, suspension of sport activities, and advisories to avoid public recreational spaces. All of these changes have made traditional opportunities to be physically active difficult to access. These changes have also exacerbated existing disparities in access to social and environmental supports for physical activity, potentially contributing to a widening gap in physical activity participation among those at greatest risk for COVID-19. Physical activity can play a special role in reducing the inequitable consequences of COVID-19; however, expansion and better targeting of evidence-informed interventions are needed that address the unique barriers present in communities that have been economically and socially marginalized to achieve health equity in COVID-19 outcomes. This review highlights effective and feasible strategies that provide more equitable access to physical activity programs and spaces across the United States. With a renewed investment in physical activity, this behavior can play a crucial role in improving population health and reducing disparities during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.
