Abstract

Introduction

A properly balanced diet and physical activity guarantee health and good psychophysical condition. The timing of the pandemic is associated with numerous limitations affecting food preferences and physical activity.

Aim

The study aimed was to determine the impact of pandemic isolation on student activity and dietary habits during COVID-19 isolation.

Material and methods

The study group consisted of students (n = 526) of the State University of Applied Sciences in Nowy Sacz. The research was an online survey (Google Forms). The questions included in the questionnaire concerning dietary habits and physical activity. Based on the data provided by the students, the body mass index (BMI) was calculated before and during the pandemic.

Results

Young women (n = 388) living in rural areas dominated among the respondents. A significantly higher mean BMI value was observed in men compared to women (p <0.05). However, no significant changes in the value of BMI were observed before and during the pandemic, both in women and men. On the other hand, its higher average value was observed for men and women living in the city compared to those living in the countryside. The impact of the pandemic on the reduction of physical activity was observed by all respondents, especially those living in the city. Women noted a greater impact of the pandemic on eating behavior, compared to men.

Conclusions

The COVID-19 pandemic changed the dietary habits and physical activity of students at the State University of Applied Sciences in Nowy Sacz.
