Summary

The negative impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the physical activity behavior of overall adults has been reported. But much less is known in older adults. Alterations in physical activity among Covid-19 survivors have not been investigated so far. The present study aimed to evaluate the physical activity status of older adults in terms of a history of Covid-19 infection.

Conditions

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	exercise	The participants were subsequently asked whether the pandemic had altered their physical activity status and rate the severity of reduction in mobility level compared to the period before the Covid-19 with the following options: none, 0; mild, 1; moderate, 2; severe, 3. Then, the participants were also asked whether they perform a physical exercise in a home setting. We recorded regular outdoor physical activity and home-based exercises (only after the pandemic) as a dichotomous variable (yes or no). The number of physical activity days per week was also obtained.
