本文探讨了在COVID-19大流行期间，加拿大5-17岁儿童和青少年的体力活动、久坐和睡眠行为增加/减少的模式，并研究了这些变化如何与住宅区附近的建筑环境相关联。聚类分析确定了两个主要由户外活动变化区分的群体。两组对24小时运动指南的依从性都很低。对于儿童来说，房屋（与公寓相比）与户外活动的增加有关;靠近主要道路是一个障碍。对于年轻人来说，低居住密度和在高密度社区进入公园，增加了大流行期间增加户外活动的可能性。我们的研究结果可以为未来的城市和健康危机规划实践提供信息，为健康和弹性社区的理想公共卫生信息和特征提供新的见解。
This paper explores patterns of increased/ decreased physical activity, sedentary and sleep behaviours among Canadian children and youth aged 5-17 years during the COVID-19 pandemic, and examines how these changes are associated with the built environment near residential locations. A cluster analysis identified two groups who were primarily distinguished by the changes in outdoor activities. Compliance to 24-hour movement guidelines was low among both groups. For children, houses (versus apartments) was correlated with increased outdoor activities; proximity to major roads was a barrier. For youth, low dwelling density, and access to parks in high-density neighbourhoods, increased the odds of increased outdoor activities during the pandemic. Our findings can inform future urban and health crisis planning practices by providing new insights into the desirable public health messaging and characteristics of healthy and resilient communities.
