Time to get active. An intervention during lockdown
Keywords:
entertainment, lockdown, physical activity, University of La Laguna.Abstract
Physical activity and sedentary leisure time during confinement were analyzed by students, teachers and administration and services personnel with the intention of proposing active leisure programs to promote healthy active habits. From MLTPAQ, the routines were explored, in a week of lockdown, and later the program “Time to get active!” was implemented, a web space for physical activity at home due to the closure of the facilities. The women dedicated more time to physical practice, with the students being the ones who had more physical activity and entertainment, predominantly activities carried out independently in the living room. Differences are appreciated based on sex and group of belonging in the use of video games and mobile phones, this being the activity that has spent the most time in confinement. Only 1.5% of the university community has met the recommendations regarding sleep time, physical activity and entertainment. Regarding the program, most of the participants got to know it through social networks, with Taichi, corrective gymnastics and functional training being the highest participation rates. There is high satisfaction in the application of this program.
