Differences in the Association between Physical Activity and People's Resilience and Emotions during Two Consecutive Covid-19 Lockdowns in Israel.

Governments worldwide have imposed harsh restrictions for decreasing the Covid-19 pandemic and maintaining public health. Yet such limitations have impacted people's physical activity. This study examined relationships between changes in physical activity and resilience, emotions, and depression during two lockdowns in Israel.

Physical activity, resilience, emotions, moods, and weight control, during the COVID-19 global crisis.

Objectives: This study aimed at exploring the relationships between physical activity, weight control, and psycho-social aspects of the COVID-19 lockdown, which have characterized the Israeli population's behavior during the COVID-19 global crisis.

Design: Cross-sectional survey research.

Methods: Participants included 1855 men and women aged 18 and above, from different regions in the country and representing different sectors.

Physical activity, resilience, emotions, moods, and weight control of older adults during the COVID-19 global crisis.

Background: The main purpose of the research was to examine the differences between adults in the age group 70+ and two other age groups (45-59 and 60-69), concerning their healthy and active lifestyle. The death toll of the current COVID-19 pandemic is strongly biased toward the elderly. However, some studies of crises suggest that older adults tend to perceive events as less stressful than do younger people.
