Introduction Due to the ongoing outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), it is currently difficult to conduct in-person exercise classes. We thus started the program of an online physical exercise with musical accompaniment. Several interesting differences were found in the characteristics of the online participants compared with our previous in-person interventions. Participants and Methods The total number of subjects was 88 (71.2 ± 4.9 years old; male 42, female 46). The questionnaire included the attributes of the participants, the perceived advantages of the exercise classes, and the presence or absence of noticeable changes in cognitive and physical function after participating in the classes. Results The personal computers used to attend the online classes were operated by the participants themselves. About 42% of the participants felt that their sense of day of the week and volition were improved by attending the exercise classes for 3 months. The most frequent answer to the reason for participation was because it was free (81.8%). The second most frequent answer was because the classes were held online (75.0%). Almost half of the participants answered that they would not participate if it was held in person because of the risk of COVID-19 infection (75.0%) and the difficulty getting to the site where the exercise classes were held (59.1%). Conclusion Online physical exercise with musical accompaniment improved the perceived orientation, volition, activity, exercise habits, and health condition in 30-40% of the participants and also stimulated greater participation by males compared to classes held in person.

简介 由于 2019 年冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 的持续爆发，目前很难进行现场锻炼课程。于是我们开始了在线音乐伴奏体育锻炼项目。与我们之前的面对面干预相比，在线参与者的特征发现了一些有趣的差异。受试者和方法受试者总数为 88 名（71.2 ± 4.9 岁；男性 42 名，女性 46 名）。调查问卷包括参与者的属性、对运动课程的感知优势以及参加课程后认知和身体功能是否存在明显变化。结果 参加在线课程的个人电脑由参与者自行操作。约42%的参与者认为参加3个月的锻炼课程后，他们的一周感和意志力得到了改善。对于参与原因最常见的回答是因为它是免费的（81.8%）。第二个最常见的答案是因为课程是在线进行的（75.0%）。近一半的参与者回答说，如果亲自举行，他们不会参加，因为有感染COVID-19的风险（75.0%），而且很难到达举办炼功课的地点（59.1%）。结论 与现场课程相比，音乐伴奏的在线体育锻炼改善了 30-40% 参与者的感知方向、意志、活动、锻炼习惯和健康状况，并且还刺激了男性更多的参与。
