Abstract

The paper presents a study on the influence of alimentation and physical activity on body weight during the Covid 19 pandemic period. Body weight management is often difficult nowadays, as we are increasingly sedentary and therefore we fail to consume the energy resulting from eating. The methods we used were: literature analysis, questionnaire survey, graphic and tabular method. The questionnaires were completed online by 30 students from the Professional Conversion Program Physical Education and Sports and master students from the Faculty of Sciences, Physical Education and Sports. After analyzing the results, we noticed that there is no stable and decisive correlation between the diet and the increase or decrease of the Body Mass Index.

Summary

Introduction

Managing body weight is often difficult nowadays, as we are more sedentary and we fail to consume the energy we gain from food consumption. On top of that, we eat too many times a day This "abundance" helps laying the foundation for coronary artery disease (which nourishes the heart), strokes, hypertension, arthritis, diabetes with onset in adulthood, obesity and several types of cancer. The processes of industrialization, urbanization and mechanization specific to today in many regions of the world lead to changes in eating habits (consumption of foods with high caloric and lipid density and low fiber content) and a sedentary lifestyle that promotes the spread of obesity in the population, this being associated with an increased risk for the occurrence of type 2 diabetes, hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases. We discover every day that active people have more fulfilled lives They have more energy, are more resistant to disease and are permanently in good physical shape. Maintaining weight within normal limits is the guarantee of the absence of obesity and the diseases caused by it (arteriopathy, coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, etc.) [8]
