Abstract
To investigate the relationship between emotional status and physical activity in adolescents during the epidemic period of Corona Virus Disease 2019. 600 junior and senior high school students from three municipal middle schools were randomly selected as the research objects. The self-evaluation of anxiety and depression and the evaluation of physical activity were carried out in the form of questionnaire survey. A total of 600 questionnaires were put in and 562 were recovered. The scores of SDS and SAS were 49.30 ± 7.02, and 53.42 ± 5.37 respectively. According to different age groups, there was significant difference in SAS among the three groups in different age groups (P < 0.05). The total score of PA was (3.24 ± 0.98). According to different age groups, there were significant differences in PA total score, MVPA activities, physical education activities, weekend activities and one week total activities among the three groups (P < 0.05). The total score of anxiety was negatively correlated with the total score of PA (r = −0.54, P = 0.024), MVPA (r = −0.38, P = 0.049) and physical education (r = −0.62, P = 0.016), and the total score of one week was negatively correlated (r = −0.44, P = 0.041). During the period of Corona Virus Disease 2019 epidemic, the anxiety level of adolescents increases with age, while the physical activity status decreases gradually, and is negatively correlated with anxiety. It is necessary to strengthen sports activities and protect emotional health in this special period.
