COVID-19: change in exercise habits in the U.S. April 2020, by age

The COVID-19 pandemic that spread across the world at the beginning of 2020 was not only a big threat to public health, but also to the entire sports industry. Many professional and amateur leagues and events were canceled and the public was advised to not spend time in large groups or in public areas. During an April 2020 survey in the United States, 33 percent of respondents aged 65 or over stated that they had been exercising less often than usual as a result of the crisis.

始于2020年初的全球性COVID-19疫情，不仅对公共卫生构成了巨大威胁，亦对整个体育产业造成了深远影响。众多职业与业余联赛及赛事被迫取消，公众亦被告知应避免聚集于大型群体或公共场所之中。在2020年4月进行的一项美国调查中，33%的65岁及以上受访者表示，由于此次危机，他们的锻炼频率较往常有所降低。
