Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and body mass index (BMI) are linked to metabolic syndrome (MetS) in middle-aged Japanese adults, focusing on differences between men and women.
- A total of 421 participants underwent assessments to categorize their CRF and BMI and determine their MetS status based on various health indicators.
- Results indicated significant associations of CRF and BMI with MetS in men, showing that fitter men with lower BMI had lower rates of MetS, while no significant associations were found for women.
Purpose: To explore the impact of COVID-19 pandemic lockdown (CoPL) on body mass index (BMI) and physical fitness among college students.
Methods: Two one-year cohorts, one with no pandemic lockdown (NoPL) exposure and one with CoPL exposure, were included. Baseline measurements were performed in October 2018 (NoPL) and October 2019 (CoPL), and follow-up data were collected one year later.
The negative impact of COVID-19 on physical activity has been improved, while the research on changes in physical fitness that may be caused by physical inactivity is still scarce. This study aims to explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown on physical fitness, and the impact of initial physical fitness indicators on their changes during the lockdown in adolescents. A longitudinal study including 265 adolescents aged 14.

Background: While physical activity has been reported to positively affect stress and sleep quality, less is known about the potential relationships among them. The present study aimed to investigate the mediating effect of stress on the association between physical activity and sleep quality in Chinese college students, after controlling for age, nationality, and tobacco and alcohol use.
Participants: The sample comprised 6973 college students representing three Chinese universities.
