- Abstract (EN)
- The im.pact of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic and the associated public health measures enacted by governments globally bad a significant impact on all aspects of human life including economic activity and mobility. One of the main public health measures designed to reduce the transmission of the SAR-Co V-2 vims have been the implementation ofvarious levels of lockdowns that limited mobility and resulted in almost half of the world's population UD.der som.e form of confinement. Many govemm.ents, including in Australia, UK, and Norway, enacted flexible forms oflockdowns that allowed daily outdoor exercise, while adhering to safe physical distancing, in recognition of the role of physical activity in reducing the mental and physical consequences of confinement. Australia saw first strict lockdown restrictions over March/April 2020 with progressive easing of restrictions during May and Ju.ne 2020. Emerging evidence from these countries has indicated that physical activity, particularly cycling, increased over the lockdown period and the following months as some restrictions were eased. However, many have wamed of a decline in physical activity with serious health consequences among older adults who were at a high.er risk: of m.orbidity and fatality associated with COVID-19 and were m.ore likely tobe confined to their homes for longer periods compared to younger age groups. The aim ofthis stu.dy was to investigate the impact ofCOVID-19 pandemic on cycling activity among older adults aged 50 years and over in New South Wales (NSW), Australia during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic.
