Objectives

Digital platforms (e.g., Facebook®, YouTube®) were a potential alternative for supporting physical activity (PA) practice during the COVID-19 pandemic. We examined the association between the use of digital platforms for PA practice and the trajectory of depressive and anxiety symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic in adults.

Methods

We analyzed data from the PAMPA cohort, a longitudinal study in southern Brazil. Participants (n = 663) were asked about the type of platform (social media, streaming, fitness app) they used for PA during the pandemic. Depressive and anxiety symptoms were examined in waves June 2020 (wave one) to June 2022 (wave four).

Results

Participants were mostly female (79.5%), with a mean age of 37.6 (SD: 13.5) years. Four in ten adults (n = 271) reported use of digital platforms for physical activity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using digital platforms for PA was associated with a faster decline in depressive symptoms over follow-up. Participants who used digital platforms for PA in wave two showed less frequent depressive symptoms in wave three compared to their counterparts. The use of streaming services and WhatsApp for PA practice were associated with a faster decline in depressive symptoms during the pandemic. There was no interaction between the use of digital platforms and anxiety symptoms.

Conclusion

Using digital platforms for PA practice was associated with an attenuated trajectory of depressive symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic in adults.

使用数字平台进行身体活动练习可减轻 Covid-19 大流行期间抑郁症状的轨迹：PAMPA 队列的发现

目标

数字平台（例如 Facebook®、YouTube®）是在 COVID-19 大流行期间支持体育活动 (PA) 练习的潜在替代方案。我们研究了在成人 COVID-19 大流行期间使用数字平台进行 PA 实践与抑郁和焦虑症状轨迹之间的关联。

方法

我们分析了 PAMPA 队列的数据，这是一项在巴西南部进行的纵向研究。参与者 (n = 663) 被问及他们在大流行期间用于 PA 的平台类型（社交媒体、流媒体、健身应用程序）。抑郁和焦虑症状按 2020 年 6 月（第一波）至 2022 年 6 月（第四波）进行检查。

结果

参与者大多为女性 (79.5%)，平均年龄为 37.6 (SD: 13.5) 岁。十分之四的成年人 (n = 271) 表示在 COVID-19 大流行期间使用数字平台进行身体活动。使用数字平台进行 PA 与随访期间抑郁症状更快下降有关。与其他人相比，在第二波中使用数字平台进行 PA 的参与者在第三波中表现出较少的抑郁症状。使用流媒体服务和 WhatsApp 进行 PA 练习与大流行期间抑郁症状的更快下降有关。数字平台的使用与焦虑症状之间没有相互作用。
