The main goal of this correlational study is to examine the changes in the amount and type of physical activity of students of various study programs during the coronavirus pandemic. Furthermore, the motives for these changes as well as their relationship with general well-being are investigated. Therefore, 243 students (sport science, humanities, natural sciences) answered questions concerning (a) the amount and type of their physical activity before and during the pandemic, (b) their well-being and (c) their optimism/pessimism. The main result of the study is that the type and the motives for sports and physical activity changed for the study participants during the coronavirus pandemic: Team sports and swimming decreased, while individual sports and physical activity not associated with a sports club/business and with digital media increased. In this study the difference in sports and physical activity seemed to be related to well-being, especially for the students of sport scien...

The suspension of university activities due to the pandemic affected training and sports competitions. However, some universities adapted online education, allowing students to carry out their activities without being infected by the virus. The aim of this study was to find out the impact of the pandemic on physical activity levels and the positive and negative effects on Chilean university athletes. The information was obtained by applying the PANAS scale and demographic and physical activity variables were also measured. The sample of Chilean university athletes (n = 254) were aged between 18 and 31 years (M = 22.17; SD = 2.76). This study led to the conclusion that maintaining the frequency of physical training during the pandemic was associated with a preservation in the levels of Positive Affect and Negative Affect compared to the non-pandemic period. Thus, physical activity training was protective of emotional well-being and, therefore, of mental health.

This research is a quantitative descriptive study with a survey method. The population is all sports education students in sports science faculty, Surabaya State University. The research subjects were determined by purposive sampling, 2019th students who entered the inclusion criteria, as many as 159 students consisting of 115 men and 44 women. The test instrument in the form of a questionnaire was adapted from WHO Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) to measure quality of life and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) to measure the level of physical activity. Data were analyzed univarietaly with a frequency distribution. The results showed the quality of life in sports education students during the COVID-19 pandemic on the dimensions of physical health in the good category (54.46 ± 9.27), the dimensions of psychological health in the good category (61.99 ± 10.85), the dimensions of social health in the good category (65.12 ± 13.69), and the dimensions of the environment health in the good category (61.85 ± 12.62). The level of physical activity showed a low category of 5 students (3.1%), a moderate category of 61 students (38.4%), and a height category of 93 students (58.5%). It can be concluded that even during the COVID-19 pandemic with online teaching and learning activities, most students had a good quality of life and high physical activity. It is very necessary to maintain the quality of life and always improve the health and fitness of the body to avoid transmission of COVID-19.

Abstract: The lockdown by Sars-CoV-2 (COVID-19) has affected the general population in different areas highlighting the levels of physical activity. The objectives of our study were evaluated through the IPAQ the effect of lockdown on the levels of physical activity and psychological well-being between a group of non-athletes (NA) and a group of experienced athletes (EA). Methods: The study was conducted using an online method. The total number of study participants was 590 people, subdivided into two groups: i) people from the university population (NA) (n = 470) and ii) athletes with a sports career (EA) (n = 122). A factorial design composed of 5 study variables was applied: population, sex, body mass index, physical activity levels, age category. Results: The results showed an effect between age X, populations X sex, where male athletes are older (F = 11.4; p ˂ 0.05). In age category X populations X sex, differences were found in those over 41 years of age among male athletes compared to non-athletes (F = 3.5; p ˂ 0.05). Conclusions: The deterioration was evidenced in the physical and psychological aspects in both the sociodemographic, physical, and psychological variables. This research highlights the importance of physical activity in different populations in times of lockdown which women, in greater proportion, may be more affected.
