About

A crisis situation leads to changes in life. During December 2019, many people contracted pneumonia in the Chinese city of Wuhan. On January 7, 2020, the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) was identified as the cause of this disease. Within five months, the virus spread around the globe and forced countries to restrict public life. Due to the high infection rates in Europe, a lockdown followed between March and April 2020 (except in Sweden). As the number of infections decreased, European countries began to gradually relax the lockdown from May 2020.

The lockdown and the later stages of loosening have an impact on lifestyle. Institutions of higher education must also adapt to this situation and have switched to distance learning.

The University of Applied Sciences of Bern (BFH), Department of Health Professions with the Departments (DHP) of Nutrition and Dietetics and Physiotherapy, considers the question of the degree to which nutritional and exercise behavior has changed.

The findings provide recommendations for future crises for students and employees of the BFH-DHP.

In order to achieve this, at the BFH-DHP two anonymous online surveys will be conducted.

Full description

There is little evidence of how physical activity and eating behavior changes during a pandemic period and in the period after a pandemic period of students and employees at the BFH-DHP. This observational study will assists to determine the impact of an immediate change within a pandemic on physical activity, nutrition, sleep and alcohol consumption and the consequences after a period of one year.
