“…The structural equation model suggests that physical exercise is a negative predictor of negative emotions and has a significant direct effect, meaning that the occurrence of anxiety and depressive symptoms may have been influenced by low physical activity in home-based college students during the COVID-19 epidemic. The results provide additional support for the well-documented, cross-sectional link between physical exercise and negative emotions 5 , 67 . According to the hypothesis on the psychological impact of physical exercise, the most direct effect outcome of exercise is that it gives individuals a sense of pleasure and joy.…”

Due to its suddenness and unpredictability, COVID-19 caused strife and effects on public mental health, resulting in a surge of negative emotions. The study explores the relationship between physical exercise and negative emotions in home-based college students during the COVID-19 epidemic, as well as the mediating role of resilience, thus providing a new basis for understanding the role of physical exercise in improving negative emotions in college students; A total of 1214 college students were investigated with the Physical Exercise Questionnaire, Negative Emotion Scale and Resilience Scale; Both physical exercise and resilience were significantly negatively correlated with negative emotions in college students (r = − 0.25, − 0.33, P < 0.001), and there was a significant positive correlation between physical exercise and resilience (r = 0.47, P < 0.001). Physical exercise had a direct effect on the negative emotions of college students (β = − 0.14, P < 0.001). Resilience had a partial mediating effect between physical exercise and the negative emotions of the college students, with a mediating effect value of 0.14 and a mediating effect contribution rate of 50.00%; The study found that physical exercise not only directly affected the negative emotions of college students but also improved their resilience by slowing down their negative emotions and promoting their mental health.

“…This finding was also supported by the evidence which states that DM patients are equipped with information on the severity of DM comorbidity with the COVD-19 pandemic. Therefore, this comorbid patient could understand the importance of physical exercise for a better prognosis of COVID-19 and DM ( Chesnut, MacDonald, & Wambier, 2021 ).…”

“…Finally, we want to briefly analyse the role of 3D printing in the creation of customized food products using the specific sensory preferences as a powerful tool to promote the acceptance of a correct diet, the right nutrients, bioactive compounds and probiotics; all aspects that help to improve the body's response to viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 or other potential pandemics (Oliveira et al, 2021;Chesnut et al, 2021). This is relevant particularly for US children between 4-8 years of age of which less than 15% eat enough fruit and vegetables (Schindler et al, 2013).…”

Summary The ongoing COVID‐19 pandemic is having a tremendous effect on the current food system. The situation urges us to face many issues never experienced before, aimed at mitigating a multitude of sanitary and social risks. The current pandemic has affected the food system in many ways: significant changes in dietary habits and in the health status of people; the food chain is broken, which has an effect on food security (including making it difficult to find or to buy fresh food at affordable prices); unemployment or underemployment is rising due to the damages of the food sector; there is a lack of food‐socialising events which has an effect on people’s mental status; and there are concerns about food safety. To mitigate all these issues, the implementation of innovative technologies urges. We have mapped the scientific studies and online information on 3D food printing (3DFP) about the effects of 3DFP on the food system and people’s health when adopted in food industry, restaurants, hospitals, schools, offices, homes, etc. Finally, this information has been examined in light to the future challenges of the food chain also considering the ongoing COVID‐19 pandemic, demonstrating its potential benefits to mitigate this and future pandemics.
