Résumé

Studying the relationship between subjectively and objectively measured physical activity (PA) can provide viable information on youths' behaviors. However, the restrictions due to COVID-19 pandemic, which reduced children's possibilities to be active, may negatively affect it. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between subjectively and objectively measured PA levels (light, moderate, vigorous, and moderate-to-vigorous) during COVID-19-based restrictions and after they were lifted, and to determine whether such relationships changed in these two periods. A total of 26 adolescents (58% girls; mean age = 12.4 ± 0.5) wore accelerometers during public restrictions and after they were removed. Participants also completed the International Physical Activity Questionnaire during the same periods. High significant correlations were found at all levels of PA (r = 0.767-0.968) in both time periods, except for moderate PA during restrictions. Comparing the two periods, significantly higher correlations were found for moderate PA ( In this highly active cohort of adolescents, results emphasize the potential threat of lockdown conditions for youths' ability to accurately perceive their behaviors, with possible detrimental consequences on the short- and long-term health.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Studying the relationship between subjectively and objectively measured physical activity (PA) can provide viable information on youths' behaviors. However, the restrictions due to COVID-19 pandemic, which reduced children's possibilities to be active, may negatively affect it. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between subjectively and objectively measured PA levels (light, moderate, vigorous, and moderate-to-vigorous) during COVID-19-based restrictions and after they were lifted, and to determine whether such relationships changed in these two periods.
METHODS METHODS
A total of 26 adolescents (58% girls; mean age = 12.4 ± 0.5) wore accelerometers during public restrictions and after they were removed. Participants also completed the International Physical Activity Questionnaire during the same periods.
RESULTS RESULTS
High significant correlations were found at all levels of PA (r = 0.767-0.968) in both time periods, except for moderate PA during restrictions. Comparing the two periods, significantly higher correlations were found for moderate PA (
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
In this highly active cohort of adolescents, results emphasize the potential threat of lockdown conditions for youths' ability to accurately perceive their behaviors, with possible detrimental consequences on the short- and long-term health.
