U pokušajima obuzdavanja virusa, stanovništvo se susrelo s brojnim ograničenjima koja su utjecala na sposobnost sudjelovanja u tjelesnoj aktivnosti. Sportski objekti su se zatvarali, a grupe za vježbanje raspadale. Sve to je pridonijelo povećanju sedentarnog načina života. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je utvrditi koliko je pandemija utjecala na tjelesnu aktivnost jedne od najrizičnijih skupina; na osobe u domovima za starije. Ova društvena skupina je posebice osjetljiva i u „normalnim“ okolnostima, a pandemija i strah od zaraze pridonijeli su njenoj naglašenoj izolaciji. Socijalna izolacija, ograničena interakcija s obitelji i prijateljima, briga oko zaraze i povećan strah su negativno djelovali na provedbu tjelesne aktivnosti jer se smanjila motivacija i mogućnost za izvršenjem iste kao posljedica prethodno nabrojanih faktora. Uzorak ispitanika sastojao se od ukupno 404 osobe starije životne dobi. Ispitanici su bili osobe smještene u domovima za starije u Republici Hrvatskoj i Bosni i Hercegovini, a podaci su se skupljali uz pomoć upitnika. Prosječna dob ispitanika u Republici Hrvatskoj bila je 80,1 ± 8,7, a u Bosni i Hercegovini 80,6 ± 9,1 godina. Bilo je znatno više ispitanica (71,32%) nego ispitanika (28,68%). Analizirane su antropometrijske karakteristike koje opisuju veličinu tijela i stanje uhranjenosti, odnos ispitanika prema COVID – 19 pandemiji te podaci o provedbi tjelovježbe prije i tijekom pandemije primjenom modificiranog upitnika (Bailey i sur., 2021). Rezultati su pokazali da su ograničenja tijekom pandemije značajno utjecala na smanjenje sudionika redovite provedbe tjelesne aktivnosti osoba u domovima za starije. Statistička značajnost se dokazala u zavisnosti provedbe tjelesne aktivnosti prije i tijekom pandemije u žena starije životne dobi. Također je dokazana statistička značajnost između oboljenja i države te zabrinutosti zbog COVID – a i države iz koje dolaze ispitanici. Kod usporedbe provedbe tjelesne aktivnosti prije pandemije i države ispitanika postojala je značajna razlika, kao i kod učestalosti provedbe prije i tijekom pandemije. U ispitanika iz Republike Hrvatske dokazana je statistička značajnost u provedbi tjelesne aktivnosti prije i tijekom pandemije.
Abstract (english) When the COVID-19 virus emerged on the global stage, no one knew how much and in what ways it would change the way of life in the following three years. In attempts to control the virus, the population faced numerous limitations that affected their ability to engage in physical activity. Sports facilities closed, exercise groups disbanded, and all of that contributed to an increase in sedentary lifestyle. The aim of this research was to determine the extent to which the pandemic affected physical activity of one of the most vulnerable groups: individuals in nursing homes. This social group is particularly susceptible even under "normal" circumstances, and the pandemic and fear of infection contributed to it's emphasized isolation. Social isolation, limited interaction with family and friends, concerns about infection, and increased fear all negatively affected the implementation of physical activity, as motivation and ability to engage in such activities decreased due to the aforementioned factors. The sample consisted of 404 older adults residing in nursing homes in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, and data were collected using a questionnaire. The average age of respondents in Croatia was 80.1 ± 8.7 years, and in Bosnia and Herzegovina, it was 80.6 ± 9.1 years. There were significantly more female participants than male participants. Analyzed components were anthropometric characteristics that describe body size and nourishment condition, attitudes of the respondents to COVID – 19 pandemic and data about implementation of physical activity before and during pandemics using modified questionnaire (Bailey and ass., 2021). The results showed that the limitations during the pandemic had significant impact on reduction of participants in the implementation of physical activity among individuals in nursing homes. Statistically significant finding was the relationship between the implementation of physical activity before and during the pandemic in older women group. Also, there was statistically significant result in infected respondents and concern about the virus with respondents' country. Significant impact was shown between implementation of physical activity before the pandemic and the respondents' country as well as in frequency of physical activity before and during the pandemic. Implementation of physical activity before and during the pandemic was significant among Croatian respondents.
