Abstract

Background: The abrupt change to distance learning due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic imposed great challenges on tertiary education. While aspects such as mental health and stress exposure have been investigated, little research has been conducted regarding the impact of distance learning on students' health behaviors. This article investigates the influence of the teaching mode (in situ vs. distance) on students' physical activity and nutrition.

Methods: A retrospective questionnaire study was conducted comparing two student cohorts who had attended the same course in two subsequent years. One group had participated in situ before the pandemic, while the other one participated via distance learning during the pandemic. A total of 79 questionnaires were submitted by students belonging to the latter and 51 by students of the former group. Data were compared regarding differences in students' health behavior.

Results: Findings indicate that online classes facilitated the pursuit of physical activities and healthy eating. Students with in situ teaching felt restricted in their exercise activities. Findings for healthy nutrition are similar.

Conclusion: Students in distance learning found themselves in a more flexible learning environment and in a position to allocate their time resources more autonomously. Student health promotion in face-to-face teaching settings should be improved and the opportunities presented by distance learning utilized.

远程学习对学生体育活动和营养的影响

背景：2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行导致远程教育的突然转变给高等教育带来了巨大挑战。虽然对心理健康和压力暴露等方面进行了调查，但关于远程学习对学生健康行为的影响的研究很少。本文探讨了教学模式（现场与远程）对学生身体活动和营养的影响。方法：采用回顾性问卷调查的方法，对两组连续两年参加同一课程的学生进行比较。一组在大流行之前就在现场参与，而另一组在大流行期间通过远程学习参与。后一组学生共提交了79份问卷，前一组学生共提交了51份问卷。比较学生健康行为差异的数据。结果：研究结果表明，在线课程促进了体育活动和健康饮食的追求。现场教学的学生在练习活动中受到了限制。健康营养的研究结果也类似。结论：远程学习的学生发现自己处于更灵活的学习环境中，能够更自主地分配时间资源。应改善面对面教学环境中促进学生健康的工作，并利用远程学习提供的机会。

期刊介绍： Deutschland ist eine wirtschaftliche Hochleistungsgesellschaft, die viel für Reparatur und Kompensation gesundheitlicher Probleme ausgibt und wenig für ihre Verhütung. Prävention + Gesundheitsförderung ist das Organ für die Publikation von wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten über präventive Maßnahmen in folgenden gesellschaftlichen Bereichen:in Kindergärten und Schulen,in Unternehmen, Dienstleistungseinrichtungen und Verwaltungen,in Verbänden der Arbeitgeber und Gewerkschaften,im Staat mit seinen unterschiedlichen Gebietskörperschaften,bei den Trägern der sozialen Sicherung,im gesamten Gesundheitswesen mit allen seinen Einrichtungen,in Bildung und Wissenschaft.Hierbei werden die Arbeiten in vier Themengebiete mit den folgenden Kernaussagen unterteilt:Wissen schaffen für Prävention und Gesundheitsförderung Investition in Gesundheit statt Kuration und Kompensation Mehr Selbstverantwortung für Beschäftigte und Träger Innovatives Gesundheitsmanagement statt vorzeitiger Kuration bzw. Frühberentung Prävention + Gesundheitsförderung hat das Ziel, mit hochwertigen Arbeiten auch dazu beizutragen, dass Einrichtungen, die nachweisbar die Gesundheit der ihnen angehörenden Menschen fördern, dafür belohnt werden, diejenigen, die vermeidbare soziale Kosten erzeugen, entsprechend belastet werden.
