The Influence of COVID-19 on the Physical Condition of Primary School Children

Summary/Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic and the measures and restrictions that were subsequently put in place to prevent the spread of the virus had a major impact on sports and physical activity, especially in collective sports and sports-educational activities organized in schools and at the level of sports clubs.Through this study we try to highlight the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the physical condition of school-age children. Considering the fact that the discipline of physical education and sports became an activity that took place online, we tried to analyze what the evolution of the physical parameters of the primary school students was in this period.The study conducted on the physical condition of children in primary school aimed to determine the level of performance of students in various specific tests, such as 25 m sprint / speed running, standing long jump, 20 sec sit-ups and 20 sec back extensions. The performances of the students included in this study, made at these specific tests, were influenced by the pandemic restrictions and had, from our point of view, an unsatisfactory evolution.
