Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic affected practically every country in the world and changed how people lead their daily lives. The purpose of research was to ascertain the relationship between physical activity levels and the incidence of health issues among pupils. This research was conducted using an anonymous online survey that contained selected questions from the World Health Organization's health behaviour in schoolchildren (HBSC questionnaire). The sample of participants consisted of 500 elementary and high school students from the territory of southern Serbia. It was observed that less than 1% of students reported having poor health, while 6% of participants said that they were dissatisfied with their health overall, compared to 94% of students who reported being satisfied with their health. Additionally, a total of 88% of students evaluated their lives with the highest marks, out of which 28% considered their lives to be the greatest they could possibly be. 90% of participants from this sample of students in southern Serbia reported engaging in physical activity three or more times per week, whereas only 3% of students reported engaging in physical activity only once a week or not at all. The key finding of this study proved that students who engaged in greater physical activity had fewer health issues than students who engaged in the least amount of physical activity. There are numerous benefits to being physically active, including how it influences the maintenance of human health and helps children grow and develop properly. Therefore, the importance of this work is reflected in the possibility of gaining knowledge about physical activity during the state of emergency and the connection between physical activity and health problems that emerged among students in southern Serbia during the COVID-19 pandemic.

紧急状态期间塞尔维亚南部学生的体育活动和健康问题

COVID-19大流行几乎影响到世界上每个国家，改变了人们的日常生活方式。研究的目的是确定体育活动水平与小学生健康问题发生率之间的关系。本研究采用匿名在线调查进行，其中包含世界卫生组织学童健康行为问卷(HBSC问卷)中的选定问题。参与者的样本包括来自塞尔维亚南部领土的500名小学生和中学生。据观察，不到1%的学生报告健康状况不佳，而6%的参与者表示他们对自己的整体健康状况不满意，相比之下，94%的学生报告对自己的健康状况感到满意。此外，共有88%的学生给自己的生活打了最高分，其中28%的人认为自己的生活是最好的。在塞尔维亚南部的学生样本中，90%的参与者报告每周参加三次或三次以上的体育活动，而只有3%的学生报告每周只参加一次体育活动或根本不参加体育活动。这项研究的主要发现证明，参加更多体育活动的学生比参加最少体育活动的学生有更少的健康问题。身体活动有许多好处，包括它如何影响人体健康的维持和帮助儿童正常生长和发育。因此，这项工作的重要性体现在有可能在紧急状态期间获得有关身体活动的知识，以及在COVID-19大流行期间塞尔维亚南部学生中出现的身体活动与健康问题之间的联系。
