| Popis: | Background: Restrictions imposed to curb the spread of COVID-19 have limited many opportunities for physical activity. Purpose: This study investigated physical activity and its associated barriers and enablers during the first two phases of COVID-19 restrictions in Ireland. Methods: An online survey collated data from Irish adults at two timepoints, the first during COVID-19 restrictions in May 2020 (Wave 1) and the second during restrictions in November 2020 (Wave 2). Logistic regression (Bayesian lasso) determined the main barriers for being less active than usual and enablers for being more active than usual during restrictions. Results: A total of 2064 adults participated (Wave 1:1260, Wave 2:804, 26% male). During Wave 1 restrictions, 46% of participants reported that they were more active than usual and 54% met the national physical activity guidelines. During Wave 2, 26% reported they were more active than usual (p The Health & Fitness Journal of Canada, Vol. 14 No. 3 (2021): Proceedings from the 8th International Society for Physical Activity and Health Congress |
