To summarize the results, all three groups experienced an increase in time to exercise, spent less time at the fitness centers and more outdoors. However, the larger contrast between the groups was that the Decreased group had more cancellation of training and closed fitness centers which gave them fewer opportunities to exercise and tended to worry more about the spread of the virus. Contrasting, the Increased group saw more opportunities with gained time to expand their workout routine. While the group that did not change had equivalent reasons from both groups for staying where they were. The total amount of training did not increase or decrease and showed no significance before and during COVID-19. However, there was a significant decrease in the number of minutes trained per workout.
