“…The researchers asserted that several physical education and sports teachers, particularly in Spain, Chile, Colombia, and Brazil, are concerned about the feasibility of interactive classroom learning ( Boukrim et al., 2021 ). Even in the actual classroom, children do not comprehend more than half of the practices when taught face-to-face ( Cole, 2008 ).…”

Academia was no exception to the widespread impact of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19). There is only a small amount of research conducted with regard to the consequences of the Pandemic in Fiji. Thus, in order to gather a longitudinal dataset, a cross-sectional survey was conducted from February to August 2020. 300 physical education and sports teachers used Google Forms to complete an online survey. There are questions on the form about age, gender, marital status, and other daily activities. A similar survey was conducted to study the long-term psychological effects (coronavirus fear and fascination with COVID-19). The characteristics of society have been explored. Efforts have been made to use different sets of psychological data, showing the anticipated results. Sex, age, marital status, and family type are significantly affected by stress, anxiety, sexual satisfaction, and social support. There is a substantial difference between marital status, gender, and social support when it comes to the Pandemic. According to research findings, fifty per cent of secondary school physical education and sports teachers in Fiji may have been affected by the Pandemic. Considerations should be taken to keep teachers calm during a pandemic. Because of this, it is necessary to submit some practical recommendations in order to minimize the adverse effects of this problem.

“…Many studies conducted in different countries, including Spain [ 9 ], Italy [ 28 ], Poland [ 5 ], Iran [ 3 ], United States of America [ 27 29 ], Belgium [ 30 ], Croatia [ 7 ], Portugal [ 6 ], Morocco [ 31 ], Lithuania [ 8 ], United Arab Emirates [ 32 ], China [ 33 ], United Kingdom [ 34 ], and India [ 35 ] have demonstrated that the quarantine has caused weight gain in different population groups, at a rate ranging from 22–98.05%. Furthermore, an increased tendency toward unhealthy eating patterns and reduced physical activity were the main outcomes of these studies.…”

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES To determine the weight change trend among the adult Turkish population after 1 yr of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and factors associated with weight change. MATERIALS/METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted between 26 February and 6 March 2021 using an online questionnaire that included questions for sociodemographic variables, eating habits, stress level, and the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire-R18. Those who weighed themselves 1–2 weeks before the pandemic was declared in Turkey and remembered their weight were invited to participate in the study. Trends in weight and body mass index (BMI) change were calculated. The variables associated with a 1% change in BMI were assessed using hierarchical regression analysis. RESULTS The study was conducted with 1,630 adults (70.25% female) with a mean age of 32.09 (11.62) yrs. The trend of weight change was found to increase by an average of 1.15 ± 6.10 kg (female +0.72 ± 5.51, male +2.16 ± 7.22 kg) for the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. The rate of participants with a normal BMI (18.50–24.99 kg/m 2 ) decreased to 51.91% from 55.75%. Consuming an "Increased amount of food compared to before the pandemic" was found to be the independent variable that had the strongest association with a 1% increase in BMI (β = 0.23 P < 0.001). The average change in the BMI was higher in older individuals than in those who were younger. A high stress level was associated with a decrease in BMI (β = –0.04 P = 0.048). CONCLUSIONS In this study, the factors associated with weight change after 1 yr of the pandemic in the Turkish population was reported for the first time. A high stress level and increased weight gain trend still occur in Turkey after 1 yr of the pandemic.

“…The first category is a group of subjects focusing on theory and a little practice, while the second category is a group of subjects focusing on practice and lacking theory. These two categories are very different in online learning (Boukrim, Obtel, Kasouati, Achbani, & Razine, 2021;Burhaein, 2020a). Adaptive Physical Education learning involves the theory and practice categories.…”

“…This has the potential to encourage the emergence of lazy behaviors and eating disorders that can be bad for health, including an increased risk of chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and overweight, as well as the presence of other health complaints. According to a survey conducted in Morocco (Boukrim et al, 2021), more than a quarter of students are overweight or obese during the COVID-19 restriction period.…”

Physical activity is one of the vital components of students with disabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic, which is endemic in various countries, including Indonesia. The purpose of the study was to determine the level of physical activity of students with disabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants of this study were 17 students with disabilities (intellectual disability, hearing impairment, speech impairment) aged 8-14 years. This research used a quantitative descriptive research method. The tool used was the Children's Physical Activity Questionnaire (PAQ-C) distributed through Google Forms. Data analysis included quantitative descriptive statistics analysis and the analytical need testing using IBM SPSS 24 applications. The results showed that the physical activity of students with disabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic was mostly distributed in the low category, nine students (50%). This study implied that students should maintain and increase physical activity by doing light physical activity at least 30 minutes a day and maintaining immunity by eating nutritious foods such as vitamins, fruits, vegetables, and healthy foods to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. It will be interesting to study adaptive learning more deeply during pandemics in a broad scope in Indonesia for further research.
