体力活动对于老年人的健康至关重要，在冠状病毒 (COVID-19) 大流行期间尤其重要。为了减缓 COVID-19 的传播，公共场所对建筑环境进行了改造，包括单向步行系统、社交距离以及限制使用公共厕所和座位。这些修改旨在鼓励安全锻炼，但可能降低了步行能力，并无意中阻碍了老年人的身体活动。我们的目的是调查与新冠病毒相关的建筑环境改造是否会减少老年人的身体活动。我们使用混合方法并行三角测量设计对英国 282 名老年人进行了调查。 COVID-19 期间体力活动减少。老年人认为，由于安全或可达性问题，许多与新冠病毒相关的建筑环境改造对身体活动产生了负面影响。这些负面变化在步行能力较高的区域更为突出，并且与体力活动减少相关。然而，与新冠疫情相关的交通减少和单向步行系统的一些要素在很大程度上被认为是有助于促进体育活动的积极修改。我们得出的结论是，与新冠病毒相关的常见建筑环境改造阻碍了运动，降低了步行能力，并可能导致老年人的体力活动减少。如果将来需要进行类似的修改，则必须满足老年人的需求，以避免阻碍身体活动并损害长期健康。
Physical activity is critical for older adults’ health and was particularly important during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. To slow the spread of COVID-19, built environment modifications were introduced in public spaces including one-way walking systems, social distancing, and the restricted use of public toilets and seating. These modifications intended to encourage safe exercise but may have reduced walkability and inadvertently hindered older adults’ physical activity. We aimed to investigate whether Covid-related built environment modifications reduced older adults’ physical activity. We surveyed 282 older adults in the UK using a mixed methods Concurrent Triangulation Design. Physical activity decreased during COVID-19. Older adults believed many Covid-related built environment modifications negatively affected physical activity because of safety or accessibility issues. These negative modifications were more prominent in areas of higher walkability and associated with reduced physical activity. However Covid-related Traffic Reduction and some elements of One-Way Walking Systems were largely considered positive modifications that helped facilitate physical activity. We concluded common Covid-related built environment modifications hindered exercise, reduced walkability, and possibly contributed to reduced physical activity in older adults. If similar modifications are required in the future, older adults’ needs must be accommodated to avoid discouraging physical activity and compromising long-term health.
