  • The study was designed to determine associations between physical activity (PA) and affect before and during COVID-19 stay-at-home orders and how change in PA predicted change in affect during this time Before and during COVID-19 stay-at-home orders, college students (n=107) completed assessments of PA, positive and negative affect, sleep quality, food insecurity, and stressful life events (during stay-at-home order only) Total minutes of PA was positively associated with positive affect before (B=0 01, p<0 01) and during (B=0 01, p=0 01) COVID-19 stay-at-home orders Change in minutes of PA was positively associated with change in positive affect (B=0 01, p=0 01) Associations between PA and positive affect were not moderated by stressful life events PA only predicted negative affect before COVID-19 stay-at-home orders (B=-0 003, p=0 04) PA appears to enhance positive affect during a global pandemic Findings have implications for PA as a tool for maintaining or enhancing mental health during a time of trauma and uncertainty
