Physical/sports activity of students of the Faculty of Education, the University of Ljubljana during the first wave of coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 epidemic

V magistrskem delu smo ugotavljali, kako je epidemija covida-19 vplivala na gibalno/športno aktivnost študentov UL Pedagoške fakultete. V teoretičnih izhodiščih smo na začetku predstavili pomen rednega izvajanja gibalnih/športnih aktivnosti, zapisali različne opredelitve gibalnih/športnih aktivnosti, opisali gibalno/športno aktivnost študentov, naredili pregled strukture športnih dejavnosti na slovenskih univerzah ter navedli priporočila glede količine in intenzivnosti izvajanja gibalnih/športnih aktivnosti. V nadaljevanju smo opisali pandemijo covida-19 in bolezen COVID-19, našteli državne ukrepe RS v času epidemije covida-19 ter predstavili, kako je epidemija vplivala na življenje študentov. V empiričnem delu je sodelovalo 41 študentk in študentov Oddelka za razredni pouk na Pedagoški fakulteti v Ljubljani. Zanimalo nas je, kako pogosto so študentje izvajali gibalne/športne aktivnosti pred epidemijo in v času epidemije covida-19, kateri dejavniki so med epidemijo v največji meri pozitivno vplivali na njihovo gibalno/športno aktivnost in kako je epidemija vplivala na splošno počutje, indeks telesne mase, samooceno gibalne/športne aktivnosti in telesno zmogljivost študentov. Rezultati so pokazali, da je obdobje epidemije covida-19 pozitivno vplivalo na pogostost izvajanja gibalnih/športnih aktivnosti študentov, ki so bili pred epidemijo manj pogosto gibalno/športno aktivni kot med epidemijo, v času katere so bili sicer bolj intenzivno in dlje časa gibalno/športno aktivni v 2. mesecu kot v 1. mesecu. Napredek med 1. in 2. mesecem epidemije so študentje potrdili tudi z boljšimi samoocenami glede lastnih telesnih zmogljivosti in boljšimi dosežki na preizkusu zmogljivosti, ki so jih dosegli v 2. mesecu epidemije, ko smo pri študentih ugotovili tudi boljše splošno počutje. Med 1. in 2. mesecem epidemije covida-19 pri normalno težkih študentih nismo zaznali statistično pomembnih razlik glede pogostosti izvajanja gibalnih/športnih aktivnosti, medtem ko so se pri prekomerno težkih študentih pojavile statistično pomembne razlike. Prekomerno težki študentje so bili v 2. mesecu epidemije bolj pogosto gibalno/športno aktivni kot v 1. mesecu epidemije. Tako pri normalno težkih študentih kot pri prekomerno težkih študentih nismo ugotovili statistično pomembnih razlik glede povprečnega ITM-ja v 1. in v 2. mesecu epidemije covida-19. Ugotovili smo, da so prosti čas, vreme in družba najbolj pozitivno vplivali na izvajanje gibalnih/športnih aktivnosti tako v 1. kot v 2. mesecu epidemije covida-19, medtem ko so se kot manj pomemben dejavnik izkazale brezplačne vadbe in pa dnevnik vadbe, katerega pozitiven vpliv se je sicer v 2. mesecu epidemije zvišal za skoraj 1 oceno. Z dnevnikom vadbe smo želeli študente dodatno spodbuditi h gibanju.In the master\u27s thesis, we researched how the COVID-19 epidemic affected the physical/sports activity of students of the Faculty of Education at the University of Ljubljana. In the theoretical part of this master’s thesis, we presented the importance of regular physical/sports activities, wrote down various definitions of physical/sports activities, described students\u27 physical/sports activity, reviewed the structure of sports activities at Slovenian universities, and gave recommendations regarding the amount and intensity of physical/sports activities. In the following, we described the COVID-19 pandemic and the COVID-19 disease, listed measures of the Republic of Slovenia during the COVID-19 epidemic, and presented how the epidemic affected the lives of students. In the empirical part. 41 students participated from the Department of Elementary Teaching at the Faculty of Education in Ljubljana. We researched how often students performed physical/sports activities before and during the COVID-19 epidemic, what factors had the greatest positive effect on their physical/sports activity during the epidemic, and how the epidemic affected general well-being, body mass index (BMI), self-assessment of physical/sports activity, and physical performance of students. The results showed that the period of the COVID-19 epidemic had a positive effect on the frequency of physical/sports activities of students who were less often physically/sports active before the epidemic than during the epidemic. The results also showed that during the pandemic they were more intensely and longer physically active in the 2nd month than in the 1st month. The students also confirmed the progress between the 1st and the 2nd month of the epidemic with better self-assessments regarding their physical capabilities and better performance on the performance test achieved in the 2nd month of the epidemic. Between the 1st and 2nd months of the COVID-19 epidemic, no statistically significant differences in the frequency of physical/sports activities were detected in normally heavy students while statistically significant differences occurred in overweight students. Overweight students were more often physically/sports active in the 2nd month of the epidemic than in the 1st month of the epidemic. For normal and overweight students, we found no statistically significant differences in the average BMI in the 1st and the 2nd month of the COVID-19 epidemic. We found that free time, weather, and society had the most positive impact on physical/sports activities in both the 1st and 2nd months of the COVID-19 epidemic. Less important factors were free sports activities and an exercise diary even though the positive impact of exercise diary increased by almost one mark in the 2nd month of the epidemic. With the exercise diary, we wanted to encourage students to exercise further
