movements. Run-on (this sentence may be a run-on sentence, proofread it to see if it contains too many independent

Access to physical activity centers have been barred as a measure to prevent crowding that
risks the spread of the virus (Rhodes et al., 2020). Engaging in physical activity has
significantly declined due to self-isolation requirements where differences in physical activity
before and during the pandemic need to be investigated. Coronavirus mitigation measures
have impacted other activities apart from physical activity, such as work, education, travel,
recreation, and subsequent physical activity levels. There have been reports of a significant
decline in physical activity since the cessation of movements (Rhodes et al., 2020). Due to
3movement restrictions and lockdown implemented, there has been a significant increase in
sedentary behaviors, (Spelling checker) including, watching TV, gaming, and use of computers.
Sedentary behavior (Spelling checker) has been linked with negative physical, mental, and social
outcomes. Nevertheless, these measures can cause unintended impacts on health outcomes
and sedentary behaviors, (Spelling checker) as the study found that restrictions and lockdown can
reduce physical activities, leading to an increase in sedentary behavior (Spelling checker) and an
increase in obesity (Barkley, Lepp, and Glickman 2020).
According to UK public health, physical inactivity is a cause of one of six deaths in the UK,
figures similar to smoking-related mortalities , (you may use the wrong form of this word) physical
inactivity has also been estimated to cost the UK government approximately £7.4 billion
(PHE, 2019). Run-on (this sentence may be a run-on sentence, proofread it to see if it contains too many independent

Populations are 20% less likely to engage in physical activity in the current statistics and if
the current trends continue is projected to 35% less active in physical activities by 2030
(Spence et al., 2020). Run-on (this sentence may be a run-on sentence, proofread it to see if it contains too many

It is estimated that around 1 in three men and 1 in 2 women are not actively involved in
physical activity (Spence et al., 2020). Adult males are more likely to report being actively
involved at recommended physical activity levels compared to adult females. However, male
adults are more likely to engage in sedentary behaviors, (Spelling checker) such as watching TV,
playing video and computer games whereas adult females engage more in household chores
and other activities such as gardening during this coronavirus period (Spence et al., 2020).
