Summary
This cohort study analysed changes in physical activity, measured by daily step counts, among participants in the All of Us Research Program before and after the COVID-19 pandemic onset. The research documents pandemic-related shifts in population-level physical activity patterns in a US cohort. The findings contribute to understanding how the pandemic disrupted routine activity behaviours across diverse US populations.
UK applicability
Whilst conducted in the US context, pandemic-related reductions in physical activity were observed across multiple high-income countries including the United Kingdom, making the findings relevant for comparative public health assessment. UK researchers and policymakers may find the quantified step-count changes useful for contextualising similar activity shifts observed in British populations during 2020–2021.
Key measures
Daily step counts (pre- and post-COVID-19 onset)
Outcomes reported
The study measured changes in daily step counts among US research participants before and after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. It likely reports comparative physical activity levels across these two periods.
