SUMMARY:

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of physical exercise and sedentary behavior before and during the COVID-19 pandemic on the health, quality of life, sadness and anxiety of public-school teachers. METHODS: 15,203 teachers, through an online form (81.7% women; age = median: 43.00, percentiles 25–75: 36.00–50.00 years) were included in this cross-sectional study. The frequency and duration of PE and the time spent in SC (watching TV and using a computer/tablet) were evaluated during the pandemic period and teachers were asked about the period before the pandemic, retroactively. Four categories were created for classification in the association analyses: EF (1– CA; 2– TA; 3– TI or 4– CI [reference group]) and CS (1– CB; 2– TB; 3– TA or 4– CO [reference group]). Information on health, quality of life, sadness and anxiety was collected during the pandemic through self-reported questionnaires. RESULTS: Teachers who were AC had a higher chance of health (OR = 2.46; 95% CI = 2.22–2.73) and quality of life (OR = 2.53; 95% CI = 2.27–2.83 ), and a lower chance of sadness (OR = 0.59; 95% CI = 0.54–0.65) and anxiety (OR = 0.63; 95% CI = 0.57–0.69) compared with those who were CI. Teachers who started watching TV for a longer time had a lower chance of health (OR = 0.84; 95% CI = 0.75–0.94) and quality of life (OR = 0.81; 95% CI = 0 .72–0.91), and a greater chance of sadness (OR = 1.59; 95% CI = 1.42–1.77) and anxiety (OR = 1.60; 95% CI = 1.44–1 .78) compared to those who watched TV consistently. In contrast, teachers who were consistently low on computer/tablet use had higher odds of health (OR = 1.30; 95% CI = 1.19-1.41) and quality of life (OR = 1.33; 95% CI = 1.22-1.45), and lower probability of sadness (OR = 0.70; 95% CI = 0.64-0.75) and anxiety (OR = 0.67; 95% CI = 0.62–0.72) compared to those CO. CONCLUSION: The teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic who performed high physical exercise and/or had lower sedentary behavior present higher health and positive quality of life, and fewer symptoms of sadness and anxiety.
