Level of physical activity of Peruvian university students during confinement

Abstract

Physical activity contributes to the health and well-being of students because of the physical, psychological, and social benefits it provides (especially during confinement). The objective was to identify the level of physical activity of college students during confinement by COVID-19. It is a descriptive and cross-sectional study conducted from March to July 2020. A population of 931 students enrolled in the Universidad Nacional de Frontera, Sullana-Peru, and a sample of 270 participated. The international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ) was used. Of the total participants, 32% were men and 68% women, 51% resided in urban areas and 49% in rural areas. The level of physical activity was low in 20% of the students, moderate in 29% and high in 51% of the students respectively. Of the total, 13% were diagnosed with COVID-19, of which 2.6% had low levels of physical activity, 5.2% moderate and 5.5% high. 28.1% of the students had physical complaints associated with COVID-19 symptoms. It is concluded that during the confinement, the university students presented a high level of physical activity, mostly women from rural areas rather than urban areas, where the level of physical activity was low.

Correlational study: Sports Students' special test results and basic athletic training learning outcomes

“…A statement by (Hughes et al, 2020) says that sport makes an important contribution to physical, psychological, and emotional well-being. Similar to the research conducted by Moreno-Quispe et al, the contributions made also to physical and social strength (Moreno-Quispe et al, 2021). In addition, the great benefits offered by exercise can reduce the risk of disease and can maintain a healthy body (Alarcón, Riquelme, Sáez, Hernández, & Fuentes-Vilugrón, 2023;Marco et al, 2023;Meo et al, 2021).…”

Bagaimana Intervensi Gaya Hidup Aktif melalui Aktifitas Fisik pada Anak? Sebuah Tinjauan Sitematis

“…Interaksi antara kebugaran fisik aktual dan yang dirasakan tidak hanya berdampak pada aktivitas fisik tetapi juga pada motivasi otonom, yang merupakan prediktor aktivitas fisik jangka panjang (Henning et al, 2022). Beberapa penelitian membuktikan bahwa aktifitas fisik memberikan dampak yang positif terhadap kebugan jasmani (Pahkala et al, 2013;Suryadi, 2022;Suryadi et al, 2021), kesehatan (Moreno-Quispe et al, 2021), kesegaran jasmani (Dede Pebriandi Sihotang & Novita, 2021), struktur lutut anak (Antony et al, 2016), adipositas, kesehatan tulang, kesehatan psikologis, dan kebugaran kardiorespirasi (Loprinzi et al, 2012), meningkatkan hemodinamik vaskular anak (Köchli et al, 2021).…”

“…Sebagai tanggapan, banyak pemerintah telah memilih untuk menerapkan isolasi wajib di bawah peraturan nasional (Ayala et al, 2018;Harapan et al, 2020;Radhitya et al, 2020). Pada tanggal 15 Maret, pemerintah Peru menetapkan keadaan darurat wajib isolasi (Moreno-Quispe et al, 2021).…”

“…Bahkan para ahli bidang kesehatan dan kedokteran memperhatikan penurunan yang signifikan dalam tingkat aktivitas fisik harian penduduk (Fagaras et al, 2015), selama karantina, mahasiswa menunjukkan tingkat aktivitas fisik yang tinggi, kebanyakan perempuan dari daerah pedesaan tingkat aktivitas rendah dari pada daerah perkotaan (Moreno-Quispe et al, 2021). Data penelitian penilaian tingkat aktifitas fisik siswa menunjukkan kurang pada anak muda moderen (Lipošek et al, 2019).…”

“…Aktivitas fisik berkontribusi pada kesehatan dan kesejahteraan siswa karena manfaat fisik, psikologis, dan sosial yang diberikannya (Moreno-Quispe et al, 2021). Manfaat besar yang ditawarkan olahraga dapat mengurangi resiko penyakit dan dapat menjaga kesehatan tubuh (Meo et al, 2021), kurangnya aktifitas dalam bergerak menjadi penyebab utama (Fajar & Iswahyudi, 2018).…”
