Abstrakt		This repeat cross-sectional study investigated the impact of lockdown in Europe in Winter (Jan- Feb 2021) on children’s and adolescent’s physical activity (PA) and recreational screen time (RST), and compared PA to the lockdown in Spring 2020. An online survey was administered (n=24,302; 6-18 years; 51.7% boys) in nine countries. PA and RST were assessed by 7-day recall. 9.3% of children (95%CI, 6.9-11.7) met WHO PA recommendation, which was half of the proportion observed in Spring 2020 (19.0% [18.2-19.9]). Sixty percent exceeded the RST recommendations. This suggests that winter lockdown could have a more negative impact on PA than in spring.
