Conclusion
(1) In the context of the epidemic, residents showed more boredom and
mood disturbance, and negative psychological experience was more acute
among residents in less severe areas than among residents in severe
areas; (2) home-based physical activity was negatively correlated with
mood disturbance and boredom, and boredom was positively correlated with
mood disturbance; and (3) physical activity improved the mood state of
residents not only directly, but also indirectly through boredom. (4)
Residents are therefore advised to engage in
moderate physical activity at
home.
