The pandemic of COVID-19 has caused unprecedented challenges for individuals and societies worldwide. Beyond the immediate health crisis, the pandemic has also had significant economic and lifestyle consequences. One of the notable impacts of COVID-19 has been the implementation of social distancing measures, resulting in decreased physical activity levels in many communities. While necessary for public health, this increase in physical inactivity poses a potential long-term burden on public health, with the potential to contribute to the rise of non-communicable diseases.
