The Impact of COVID-19 on Diet and Lifestyle Among Sports Students

Author(s) Ms. Naomi Vincent, Dr. Shilpa Jose

Abstract The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on way of lifestyle-associated behaviour amongst sports college students of Kerala is less explored. The research was conducted on a total of 202 sports students. The data was collected by using Google Forms and questionnaires. Data was gathered, and a comparison of
nutritional health profiles before and during the pandemic was done t-test for a single mean. The study revealed that the intake of unhealthy food items such as fast food increased during the COVID-19 pandemic (P<0.01) while the frequency of fruit and vegetable intake, consumption of pulses, egg or meat, consumption of milk and its products, and consumption of a balanced diet had significantly
reduced (P<0.01). However, there was no statistically significant change in routine consumption of meals at regular intervals during COVID-19. Participation in moderate-intensity aerobic exercises and leisure-related activities declined significantly (P<0.01), while a significant increase in screen time and stress levels (P<0.01) was observed. The K10 scores showed (61%) mild to severe stress disorders during the pandemic, and only 39% of the respondents could maintain healthy stress conditions. A detailed understanding of these factors can help to develop interventions to mitigate the negative lifestyle behaviours that have manifested during the pandemic.
Keywords Nutrition, sport students, balanced diet, aerobic exercises, mental health, lifestyle behaviours.
