COVID-19 incidence and cardiorespiratory fitness among first-year college students.

Objective: With the emergence of the COVID-19 virus, there was a widespread infection rate among college campuses, creating a need to understand the impact of COVID-19 infection on the health and wellbeing of adolescents. The aim of this study was to examine COVID-19 incidence and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) among undergraduate students in the 2 years post-COVID-19 pandemic lock-down.

Participants: Participants ( = 151) included undergraduate college freshmen students during the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 academic years.
