Resumo

Introdução: A doença por coronavírus (CO-VID-19) é uma doença infecciosa causada pelo vírus SARS-CoV-2. Esta doença tem prejudicado a vida das pessoas, comprometendo um estilo de vida saudável.
Objectivo: Este estudo tem como objectivo analisar o impacto do confinamento da COVID-19 na actividade física e no tempo que a população portuguesa passa sentada durante a quarentena.
Metodologia: Este estudo longitudinal retrospetivo baseou-se num inquérito online do Google Forms durante o período de bloqueio de 18 de março a 30 de abril de 2020. Foram analisadas 541 respostas; todos os portugueses (42,2 ± 14,8 anos) responderam ao inquérito sobre o período. As respostas válidas foram obtidas de 4 a 30 de maio de 2020. A atividade física foi estudada durante uma semana e o tempo médio sentado num dia da semana antes (T0) e durante (T1) a quarentena.
Resultados: Quando comparado o T0 e o T1, verificou-se uma diminuição da atividade física moderada-vigorosa (p < 0,0001), do tempo de marcha (p < 0,0001) e um aumento do tempo sentado (p < 0,0001), considerando todo o grupo amostral. Todas as faixas etárias diminuíram o tempo passado a caminhar e aumentaram o tempo passado sentado. O valor mais elevado do tempo sentado foi apresentado na faixa etária dos 26 aos 35 anos. Em comparação com as restantes, a faixa etária dos 46 aos 55 anos apresentou os valores mais baixos de atividade vigorosa e moderada.
Conclusão: A primeira quarentena teve um efeito significativamente negativo nas horas de atividade física da população portuguesa e contribuiu para um aumento significativo do tempo sentado durante o dia de trabalho.
