ABSTRACT
SUMMARY The pandemic caused by the COVID-19 has influenced peoples' lifestyles. Home-confinement scenario might impair physical activity practice, resulting in new challenges for maintaining health during the pandemic of the COVID-19. The aim of this study was to present the current context of COVID-19 pandemic, its impact on the practice of physical activity, and the strategies available to remain active during home-confinement according to international recommendations. The narrative review was conducted based on studies that analyzed themes related to physical activity and COVID-19. Virtual Health Library (VHL), CINAHL, Cochrane, PsycINFO, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Scopus, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science databases were searched for relevant papers. Although an increased number of experimental studies are still necessary, people should devote more time to physical activity during social isolation. Guidelines were adjusted by international entities in order to encourage people to remain active, through practice regular physical activity, using alternative strategies such as fitness program applications, exergames, online exercise classes, and even chores. Reduction of prolonged sedentary behavior could contribute to maintain health and improve quality of life during the COVID-19 pandemic.
RESUMEN
La pandemia provocada por la Covid-19 ha influido en los estilos de vida de las personas. El escenario de confinamiento domiciliario podría perjudicar la práctica de actividad física, generando nuevos desafíos para el mantenimiento de la salud durante la pandemia de la Covid-19. El objetivo de este estudio fue presentar el contexto actual de la pandemia de Covid-19, su impacto en la práctica de actividad física y las estrategias disponibles para mantenerse activo durante el confinamiento domiciliario según las recomendaciones internacionales. La revisión narrativa se realizó con base en estudios que analizaron temas relacionados con la actividad física y la Covid-19. Se realizaron búsquedas de artículos relevantes en las bases de datos Virtual Health Library (BVS), CINAHL, Cochrane, PsycINFO, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Scopus, SPORTDiscus y Web of Science. Aunque todavía es necesario un mayor número de estudios experimentales, las personas deberían dedicar más tiempo a la actividad física durante el aislamiento social. Las pautas fueron ajustadas por entidades internacionales para alentar a las personas a mantenerse activas, mediante la práctica de actividad física regular, utilizando estrategias alternativas como aplicaciones de programas de acondicionamiento físico, exergames, clases de ejercicios en línea e incluso tareas domésticas. La reducción del sedentarismo prolongado podría contribuir a mantener la salud y mejorar la calidad de vida durante la pandemia de Covid-19.
