COVID-19: comfort level going to exercise classes in the U.S. 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, including gyms. During an October 2020 survey in the United States, 16 percent of respondents aged between 18 and 34 stated that they would be very comfortable going to the gym or exercise classes during the crisis.

始于2020年初席卷全球的COVID-19疫情，不仅对公共卫生构成了巨大威胁，亦对整个体育产业产生了深远影响。众多职业与业余联赛及赛事被迫取消，公众被告知避免在大型群体或公共场所，包括健身房等地聚集。在2020年10月的一项美国调查中，16%的18至34岁受访者表示，在危机期间他们非常愿意前往健身房或参加健身课程。
