Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of home quarantine period on student's physical activity and mood. The research method was descriptive causal comparison that was done in the field. In this study, 479 high school students in Kurdistan province were selected as a statistical sample in an accessible way and based on their presence in social networks such as WhatsApp, Telegram, etc. through coordination with school principals. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire. The reliability of the questionnaire in the pilot study was 0.89. In order to analyze the data, Chi-square, ANOVA and Tukey post hoc test were used. The results showed that their level of physical activity was significantly different in the pre-corona and quarantine periods. Negative mood during quarantine was affected by the number of training sessions per week. Managers and physical education teachers can minimize the physical and psychological consequences of quarantine by proper planning for proper sports activities in accordance with the protocols.
