Abstract:
Despite the fact that the coronavirus pandemic has almost disappeared, its consequences will be a problem for national health systems, medical institutions and individual citizens for a long time to come. During the period of quarantine measures, which were the main form of social distancing and a measure to counteract the spread of the disease, many people practicing a healthy lifestyle, sports and just moderate physical activity were forced to significantly reduce their physical education practice. As a result, many of them faced the problem of weight gain.The article examines the quantitative and qualitative aspects of this problem through the prism of sociological research by international analytical agencies.
