Survey waves of 14/15 April 2020 ( = 1032), 23/24 June 2020 ( = 993), and 26/27 January 2021 ( = 1001) from the COVID-19 Snapshot Monitoring (COSMO) were analysed.

The objective of this study was to analyse PA in German adults during a total lockdown phase including school closures in April 2020 in certain subgroups and in relation to other coping strategies.
