The COVID-19 pandemic and its related interventions significantly impacted people’s daily lives, with restrictions on movement leading to a decrease in physical activity and a subsequent decline i...

The main aim of the project was to increase the level of physical activity (PA) among selected target groups in three countries (Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia). We divided the overall project time into shorter periods and implemented sub-objectives within them: 1. Determine and compare the current status of PA in the partner countries before and after COVID19 pandemic. 2. Analyze the findings, draw conclusions, and map the negative impact on PA, health, and performance, subsequently presenting these findings through conferences and lectures in an effort to raise awareness about the decline in PA and highlight the need for action. 3. Develop recommendations for increasing PA and improving health after recovering from COVID19. 4. Validate the recommendations and develop educational material for undergraduate students with degree programmes in medical, health and educational sciences, who can then disseminate the recommendations through their practice to the general population. 5. Disseminate awareness of the importance of PA and its positive effects on human health at international level (conferences,lectures, web) 6. Establish long-term cooperation between the institutions and continue it after end of the project.

During the project, we have carried out research activities aimed at expanding the issues of COVID19, PA and their impact on human health. Within the project results (PRs), we implemented the following activities: PR1 - Selection of an appropriate type of questionnaire and its completion - translation of the questionnaire and its distribution to selected target groups - collection of objective data through a questionnaire survey PR2 - summarisation and content analysis of the results obtained - qualitative and quantitative analysis - preparation of a manuscript of our findings - preparation of a collection of abstracts from conferences PR3 - preparation of movement recommendations for selected target groups according to the focus of the specific partner (trainers, physical education teachers, physiotherapists, people with respiratory diseases) in English language - translation of the recommendations - testing the recommendations - preparation of a questionnaire about effectiveness of the recommendations - qualitative analysis based on the responses received from the questionnaire survey PR4 - preparation of the final educational material in English - preparation of collection of abstracts from the final conference
