The first wave of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has had a serious impact worldwide. We were concerned with the decrease in physical activity (PA) during the pandemic and the potential for incident disability and the progression of frailty in the older population; therefore, we investigated changes in PA before and during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in older Japanese adults. The data were recently published in this journal as “Effect of the COVID-19 epidemic on physical activity in community-dwelling older adults in Japan: A cross-sectional online survey,” in which we indicated that the total amount of time devoted to PA in April 2020 (during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic) had significantly decreased from that in January 2020 (before the COVID-19 pandemic) among older adults (1). Importantly, this trend has been recognized in many cities worldwide (2).In Japan, the national government lifted the state of emergency on May 25, 2020. Subsequently, many companies, schools, shopping malls, and restaurants reopened. It was thought that social changes resulting from the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic enabled PA among older adults to the point that previous levels might have recovered. Therefore, we conducted a follow-up survey in June 2020 (after the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic) and compared the results with those in January and April 2020. We hypothesized that PA among older adults in June would have gradually recovered since April, except among older adults who were frail, over 75 years old, living alone, and socially inactive.
