COVID-19 Effects on Physical and Sports Activity: a Bibliometric Study

Abstract

The objective of this study was to carry out a bibliometric exploration in Scopus® on the research that have been carried out regarding the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on physical and sports activity, finding the vulnerabilities that people have had because of the spread of the virus. Through the review, trends in the analysis of the impact of COVID-19 on physical activity and people's health were determined. A collateral impact was found due to the confinement that affects the health of people physically and emotionally. Difficulties derived from a sedentary lifestyle, weight gain, changes in eating and sleeping patterns and diseases associated with unhealthy lifestyles were pointed out. In opposition, the efforts by the medical and sports sector to use telemedicine and social networks to support physical practice, the gradual return to exercise and professional sports activities were also analyzed.
