Physical Activity at Home During the COVID-19 Pandemic in the Two Most-affected Cities in Saudi Arabia

Table 3: Before/during the COVID-19 lockdown: differences in the total MET-minutes/week (mean ± SD).

		Physical Activity (MET-minutes/week)
		Before-COVID-19	During-COVID-19	t	p - value	Cohen
Overall		(n = 244) 903 ± 755.6	(n =244) 387 ± 397.8	12.8	p < 0.001	d = 0.89
Sex	Male Female	(n = 154) 951 ± 740.5	(n =154) 398 ±413.1	11.3	p < 0.001	d = 0.96
Sex	Male Female	(n = 90) 818 ± 777.5	(n =90) 368 ± 369.9	6.4	p < 0.01	d = 0.78

A Cohen d value of 0.8 or greater indicates a large effect size.
