From all the participants, 93 (35.36%) believed to have decreased participation in aerobic exercises and sports activities while 24 (9.13%) believed to have increased thier physical activity. 64 (24.33%) participants spent more time on liesure and 175 (66.54%) increased the time they were lounging around.
