Abstract
Background and aim: In December 2019, the prevalence of a viral disease was reported in Wuhan, China. Due to the high contagion power, it spread rapidly and infected almost all the countries of the world in a relatively short period (less than four months). It also caused the lockdown and quarantine of societies and cities. Hence, the aim of the present study was to scrutinize the way wrestlers spend their free time in quarantine time to prevent COVID-19.
Methods: The statistical population of this study included wrestlers in the age group of adolescents, youth, and adults in Ardabil. A sample of 340 individuals was selected. The research instruments were a questionnaire including demographic information and a researcher-made leisure questionnaire. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, and ANOVA using SPSS22 software with the significant level of P < 0.05.
Results: The outcomes of the present study demonstrated that wrestlers allocated on average less than 2 hours of their time to the leisure components and there was no statistically significant relationship between demographic variables and the total score of how they spent their leisure time (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Finally, if the existing condition continues, regarding less mobility and quarantine and the diseases increase due to inactivity of individuals will increase the costs of treatment and will affect all the health-centered policies of the countries. Therefore, it is required to inform and educate planning for leisure time, not only in the field of sports but also in other fields and subcomponents of leisure through media and social media networks.
