This study aimed to investigate the improvement in physical activity (PA) resulting from “stay-at-home exercise” among college students. Overall, 150 college students were recruited, and 125 students (control group: 65; intervention group: 60) who completed baseline surveys were analyzed.

Mixed model repeated-measure analysis of variance compared the outcomes before and after the intervention. After 8 weeks of “stay-at-home exercise”, there was no significant interaction in PA (<i>F</i> = 0.02, <i>p</i> = 0.89); however, a significant interaction for the general health subscale of HRQoL (<i>F</i> = 9.52), SWB (<i>F</i> = 6.70), and K6 (<i>F</i> = 7.83) was detected (<i>p</i> < 0.05). On comparing the pre- and post-intervention results, we found that only distributing an 8-week streaming video of “stay-at-home exercise” did not increase the amount of physical activity among participants, but it did have a positive effect on their mental health during the pandemic.Kazuki FukuiYuta SuzukiKazuki KanedaSayo KurodaMakoto KomiyaNoriaki MaedaYukio UrabeMDPI AGarticlecoronavirus disease (COVID-19)physical activitycollege studentsmental healthweb-based interventionwell-beingEnvironmental effects of industries and plantsTD194-195Renewable energy sourcesTJ807-830Environmental sciencesGE1-350ENSustainability, Vol 13, Iss 11600, p 11600 (2021)
