From: Alteration of physical activity during COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in young adults

Fig. 1

Physical activity before and after lockdown: a Participants were asked if the amount of physical activity had changed after the lockdown. 44.5% (867) reported to be less active, and 32.8% (639) reported to be more active than before the lockdown. In 22.7% (443) of the participants, the amount of physical activity was unchanged. b Participants were further asked to semi-quantify the average hours per week of physical activity they had done in a typical week before, and after, the lockdown. The self-assessment of hours of physical activity per week revealed a marked decrease in the fraction of participants stating to be doing 2–5 h per week since implementation of the lockdown measures. c Median daily step count was significantly reduced (6777 [IQR 4967–8825] vs. 4829 [IQR 2338–7841], p < 0.01). (D) A significant difference was also found when comparing the selected days (Sunday, 5455 [IQR 2500–8971] vs. 4500 [IQR 1114–8094], Monday, 7378 [IQR 4889–10,000] vs. 4537 [IQR 1541–8228], Tuesday, 7220 [IQR 4767–9998] vs. 4792 [IQR 1782–8396], p < 0.01 for all comparisons)
