在全球卫生危机期间，保持身体距离和戴口罩已成为保护自己和他人免受COVID-19侵害的必要社会实践。但随着人们保持身体距离，所有人的目光都集中在新型冠状病毒上，另一场尽管令人担忧的大流行仍在肆虐。缺乏身体活动是世界上第四大死因，而保持身体距离的措施，如在家中避难、关闭或限制使用娱乐和运动设施，确实可能加剧这种情况。本文的目的是敦促公共卫生和医疗专业人员不要忘记身体活动对整个人健康的重要性，认识到身体活动作为潜在的COVID-19缓解策略的重要性，并倡导促进积极的生活方式。至关重要的是，不能将全国呼吁保持身体距离解释为呼吁不活动。
During this time of global health crisis, physical distancing, along with mask wearing, has emerged as the sine qua non social practice to protect ourselves and others from COVID-19. But as physical distancing ensues and all eyes remain fixed on the novel coronavirus, another, albeit careworn, pandemic rages on. Physical inactivity, the world's fourth leading cause of death, may indeed be exacerbated by physical distancing measures, such as sheltering at home and closing or limiting access to recreation and exercise facilities. The purpose of this paper is to urge public health and medical professionals not to forget the importance of physical activity to whole-person health, recognize the importance of physical activity as a potential COVID-19 mitigation strategy and to serve as advocates for promoting active lifestyles. It is imperative that the national call for physical distancing not be interpreted as a call for physical inactivity.
