The changing of sport activities during COVID-19 pandemic: Do people exercise more?
Exercise has been shown to have clear health benefits for healthy individuals. Neverthe-less, COVID-19 pandemic limits outdoor activities to prevent the coronavirus spread. This re-search aims to analyze how COVID-19 affects people's exercise. Using an online survey, we collected data from 316 Indonesian people who are currently exercising. The result shows the good effect of COVID-19 on people's sports activities. Maintaining immune system function becomes the main reason people exercise intensively or even start making this habit. COVID-19 pandemic can be a good momentum to promote exercising as a part of a healthy lifestyle. However, health protocols to prevent coronavirus spread must be strengthened.
