PHYSICAL EXERCISE IN REMOTE EMPLOYEES DURING COVID-19

Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction: During COVID-19, home office activity increased significantly for professionals, especially high-tech companies dominated by information production. Physical health problems attracted great attention from departments responsible for exercise prescriptions. Objective: Discuss the positive and negative effects of home exercise behavior on the health of people working from home, and propose countermeasures to prevent and improve physical health during the epidemic. Methods: Survey questionnaires and mathematical statistics were used to analyze the factors influencing home exercise behavior on the physical health of remote employees. Results: Mathematical statistics from the questionnaire showed that among all investigated factors, more than 90% showed that home exercise behavior positively impacted remote employees' physical health, and less than 10% showed that home exercise behavior did not correlate with physical health. Conclusion: Under the significance level of α= 0.05, it is believed that home exercise behavior can effectively improve physical health. Therefore, if the epidemic control policy cannot be changed, it is recommended to further promote home exercise. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
