Raynaud phenomenon as an isolated manifestation of autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants (ASIA).

BACKGROUND

This study expands existing research by examining longitudinal impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on medical college students' physical fitness.

METHODS

A medical college in Wenzhou, was selected to examine the changes in physical fitness indicators among students from 2019 to 2021.

RESULTS

While most students maintained normal weight status (85.2%), overweight/obese prevalence increased significantly (8.0% in 2019, 8.9% in 2020, and 10.1% in 2021). Among male students, 67.0% were classified within the passing range, while the majority of female students (55.0%) fell within the "good" grade category. In 2021, a significant decline was observed in the standing long jump, 50-m dash, and 1,000/800 m run (p < 0.05) across both genders.

CONCLUSIONS

The lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have significantly contributed to increased weight gain among college students and a decline in their endurance running performance.
