cord-279511-s9h1jzzs	Di Stefano, Vincenzo	Significant reduction of physical activity in patients with neuromuscular disease during COVID-19 pandemic: the long-term consequences of quarantine	2020-07-13		.txt	text/plain	4160	202	47	title: Significant reduction of physical activity in patients with neuromuscular disease during COVID-19 pandemic: the long-term consequences of quarantine Hence, the aim of this study was to estimate the levels of PA, measured as energy expenditure (MET–minute/week), among patients with neuromuscular disease (NMD) before and during the last week of quarantine. In healthy controls, a significant reduction of PA was reported during quarantine compared to before quarantine for vigorous-intensity PA (p = 0.04), moderate-intensity PA (p = 0.01), walking activity (p < 0.0001), total PA level (p < 0.0001) and MVPA level (p = 0.001). Finally, it has to be considered that a more sensible muscle mass loss is reported following physical inactivity in older people and in neuromuscular disease, compared to healthy young subjects [10, 13] . This was in agreement with a recent study that reported a high level of total weekly energy expenditure before the COVID-19 quarantine in healthy subjects [25] .	./cache/cord-279511-s9h1jzzs.txt	./txt/cord-279511-s9h1jzzs.txt
