“…In addition, the perceptions of loneliness may have resulted from the de facto isolation imposed by shelter-in-place pandemic policies (Jelaca, Anastasovski, & Velickovska, 2020;Lemay, Doleck, & Bazelais, 2019).…”

This paper explores plausible reasons why some students report having more difficulty learning online, predominantly in Zoom synchronous classes, and suggests strategies that students can do to optimize their learning. During anonymous classroom observations, approximately 80% of 350 college students polled indicated it was harder to focus their attention and stay present while taking classes online. They also reported experiencing more isolation, anxiety, and depression compared to face-to-face classes, although much of this may be due to COVID-19 social isolation. Students often appear nonresponsive when attending online synchronous Zoom classes that negatively impacts the nonverbal dynamics of student-instructor interactions. Communication issues includes internet challenges, lack of facial expressions, body appearance, and movement. Students also report that it is more challenging to maintain attention, especially when they are multitasking. Suggested strategies are to optimize learning that includes arranging the camera so that you are visible, using active facial and body responses as if you are communicating to just one person face-to-face, configuring your body and environment (sitting upright and creating unique cues for each specific task), reducing multitasking and notifications, and optimizing arousal and vision regeneration.

“…The increasing negative growth in trends observed is reported among surveyed individuals. This paper focuses on tracking stress levels, abilities to perform simple tasks, weight gain, edema formation, dietary (specifically sugar) intake and social lives all of which show increased dissatisfaction presented by higher percentage of students reporting it when compared to earlier published study (Jelaca et al, 2020). Weight gain was reported by 70% of individuals surveyed while in June of 2020, 73% reported it, which is the only measured parameter that shows a slight decrease.…”

“…An increase in stress levels were noted and reported to increase in just four months from 74% to 77% while abilities to perform simple tasks declined from 67% to 55% from the first to the second cohort of students surveyed in that order. Since a paper published by the authors of this topic by using the same questions, methodology and parameters was published a year ago in June 2020 a decrease in overall wellbeing is palatable (Peper, et al, 2021, Jelaca et al, 2020. The increasing negative growth in trends observed is reported among surveyed individuals.…”

“…Traditional courses are expected to commence in August -September for the upcoming fall semester of academic 2021. Potentially serious problems associated with drastic alterations in college students lifestyles and overall wellbeing has been reported earlier by researchers who pointed out that modifications in daily lives may have theoretically serious consequences (Peper, et al 2021, Jelaca et al, 2020Verhavert et al, 2020;Jelaca et al, 2017;Toker and Melamed, 2017;Jelaca et al, 2016).…”

This short term digitally distributed longitudinal study evaluated impacts of the Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) pandemic on college students from Southern California. A total number of three hundred and eighteen [n=318] individuals were included in the study of which 154 or 48% were females, n=161 or 51% males and n=3 or 0.1% were individuals who refused to provide that information. The study was based on two separate data sets collected four months a part (Dec. 2020 and April 2021) from students of which n= 154 and n=164 were 1 st and 2 nd cohort respectfully. From all individuals surveyed n=253 or 80% were 26 years of age or younger at the time. Troubling pattern observed was a decline in overall satisfaction and wellbeing in all parameters analyzed. Some of the most concerning were an increase in stress from 74% to 77% while abilities to perform simple tasks declined from 67% to 55% from the first to the second cohort of students surveyed in that order. Such results, which were measured in two separate instances and only four months, apart suggest that distressed psychosomatic equilibriums need to be urgently addressed if we are to come out of the pandemic with physically and emotionally healthy population of young adults.

“…In addition to the role of nutrition on recovery, adequate sleep quantity and quality are important for improving performance as well as maintaining a healthy immune system. Sleep issues are not unique to student-athletes, as the current pandemic has been associated with decreased sleep quality among college students (10,17,(36)(37)(38), with females at higher risk. In general, females are more likely to experience sleep dysfunction (39,40).…”

The coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 virus (SARS-CoV-2) incited a national emergency (1) that forced colleges and universities in the United States to close their doors in March 2020 (2). These sudden university closures left minimal time for sport coaches, strength and conditioning (S&C) coaches, and other support staff to create and disseminate feasible at-home training programs for student-athletes. Nationwide shutdowns further complicated athletes' training at home by limiting access to adequate exercise equipment and space required for training. As this is the first time all sports have come to a halt since the 1940s, no data exist regarding student-athlete sport training regimens, nutritional habits, and mental health status during times of limited or no access to adequate training equipment and/or resources (3). Therefore, research is warranted to investigate the effect extended time away from typical training routines has on collegiate student-athlete sport training habits and overall well-being.Collegiate student-athletes' sport training and competition seasons typically follow a set schedule with routine access to school-based support including sport coaches responsible for on-field sport-specific training, S&C coaches responsible for general performance development, athletic trainers in charge of injury and rehabilitation management, nutritional support for dietary needs, and access to adequate exercise training equipment. Brief periods away from these resources generally occur in 2to 6-wk blocks over semester breaks. Lack of training during these times can result in detraining evidenced by decreased aerobic capacity, speed, and muscular power (4). Large increases in acute workloads in general or after periods of detraining increase the risk of both overuse and traumatic injuries (5,6). For example, higher injury rates are often seen among collegiate athletes during preseason when training volume markedly increases (7). Return to sport after COVID-19 lockdowns may exaggerate this effect, similar to the increased tendon injury occurrence seen in 2011 after the National Football League's 19-week lockout (8). More recently, a case study following a professional soccer team through the fall
