Comparison of national trends in physical activity among adolescents before and during the COVID-19 pandemic: A nationally representative serial study in South Korea
Present findings suggest that Korean adolescents achieving the recommended PA levels by the WHO remained steady despite the pandemic. This stability in PA levels during a significant disruption (i.e. the COVID-19 pandemic) is noteworthy and warrants further investigation into the factors that may have contributed to this resilience, including potential influences from various societal and environmental elements.
