Abstract

The influence of perceived barriers and expected benefits of exercise on exercise behavior is well recognized. During the pandemic, individuals' ability to perform physical activities is restricted due to isolation conditions. Still, adherence to exercise is more important than ever, considering the positive impact of physical activity on the immune system. Additionally, exercise helps people get rid of anxiety, depression, and stress, which tend to escalate in the pandemic. This chapter aims to increase exercise participation by understanding perceived barriers and expected benefits of exercise during the pandemic. The relationship between isolation, exercise, mental and physiological health during the pandemic will be discussed. Moreover, a review of the perceived barriers and expected benefits of exercise will be made. Last, an empirical study examining these relationships will be made.
