Abstract

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the physical activity of people including university students. This study aimed to assess the physical activity of university students of Hyderabad and its adjoining areas during the peak time of the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODOLOGY: This cross-sectional study was conducted during the peak period of COVID-19 among 232 university students belonging to the University of Sindh who came from Hyderabad and its adjoining areas. The samples were collected via a simple random sampling method. The physical activity of male and female university students was compared and calculated by using SPSS software version 21 and MS Office 365. The significance level among groups was determined by applying a Chi-square test whereas the pre and post-responses were calculated by applying McNemar’s test. The  P-Value of < 0.05 was set as statistically significant. RESULTS: About 68.96% of females and 51.72% of male university students did not go for walking whereas 91.38% of females and 65.52% of males did not even prefer jogging activity. The results from McNemar’s Test Statistics about pre- and post-COVID-19 physical activity suggested that the walkers and non-walkers’ group had a significant change (x2=60.016, p<0.001), and the jogging and non-jogging group had also a significant difference (x2=113.009, p<0.001). The weight of university students before and after COVID-19 was significantly different (x2=30.414, p<0.05). CONCLUSION: The university students performed less than usual physical activity and mostly preferred a sedentary lifestyle during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic

评估 Covid-19 大流行期间大学生的体育活动
背景与目标:COVID-19 大流行影响了包括大学生在内的人们的体育活动。本研究旨在评估 COVID-19 大流行高峰期海得拉巴及其邻近地区大学生的体育活动情况。方法:这项横断面研究是在 COVID-19 高峰期对信德大学 232 名来自海得拉巴及其毗邻地区的大学生进行的。样本通过简单随机抽样法收集。使用 SPSS 软件 21 版和 MS Office 365 对男女大学生的体育锻炼情况进行了比较和计算。组间显著性水平通过卡方检验确定,而前后反应则通过麦克尼马检验计算。P 值小于 0.05 为具有统计学意义。结果:约 68.96% 的女大学生和 51.72% 的男大学生不喜欢散步,而 91.38% 的女大学生和 65.52% 的男大学生甚至不喜欢慢跑活动。COVID-19前后体力活动的McNemar检验统计结果表明,步行组与不步行组有显著变化(x2=60.016,P<0.001),慢跑组与不慢跑组也有显著差异(x2=113.009,P<0.001)。大学生在 COVID-19 前后的体重有显著差异(x2=30.414,P<0.05)。结论:在 COVID-19 大流行期间,大学生的体育锻炼少于平时,大多喜欢久坐不动的生活方式。
