Abstract

This opinion document presents as possible consequences for the physical and mental health of children and
adolescents, who are in long periods of quarantine due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Quarantine social
isolation a strategy applied and implemented by several countries, however, social isolation can profoundly
decrease levels of physical activity and increase levels of sedentary behavior in young people who are currently
out of school. All of this increases the risk of weight gain, obesity, anxiety, depression and even changes in the
brain structure of this population. We believe that this document indicates possibilities for increasing levels
of physical activity in children and adolescents in this period of social isolation.
