Abstract
Objective: to describe physical activity and assess the occurrence of inappropriate behaviors in Moroccan children during the confinement period.
Highlights
Children physical activity is essential to the development of fundamental motor skills while helping to learn how to interact with others, which promotes the prevention of certain common psychics such as depression and anxiety [1]
Containment related to the COVID-19 pandemic is a high-risk situation for children, not by its direct effects as children and adolescents appear to be less affected by COVID-19 than adults, but by its indirect impacts
Sedentary behaviors such as screen exposure, daytime sleep, and dietary overconsumption increased during the period of social isolation with a rate of 73.8%
Summary
Children physical activity is essential to the development of fundamental motor skills while helping to learn how to interact with others, which promotes the prevention of certain common psychics such as depression and anxiety [1]. Containment related to the COVID-19 pandemic is a high-risk situation for children, not by its direct effects as children and adolescents appear to be less affected by COVID-19 than adults, but by its indirect impacts. This situation inevitably disrupts the rhythm of this so-called regular activity, which is essential for the child’s physical and mental development, by altering their physical behavior, which could become inappropriate. Why is it necessary to remain active during the pandemic? And what are the deleterious effects if our children fall victim to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown? These are the questions we will respond to
