Gambaran Pola Aktivitas dan Kebiasaan Makan Remaja Selama Pandemi Covid-19

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has had an impact on the education system, namely the implementation of social distancing and work from home so that the learning process is carried out through online methods. Teenagers' activity patterns change to become more passive and lessen by learning from home. Meanwhile, research proves that lack of activity patterns is a contributing factor to obesity and other diseases. This study used a sample of 754 adolescents who underwent online learning at school from home. The sample filled out a questionnaire about physical activity patterns and eating patterns during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to obtain an overview of the physical activity and eating patterns of adolescents during the Covid-19 pandemic. The results of this study indicate that there has been a decrease in activity patterns during the Covid-19 pandemic. The most common activities were walking (77.2%), jogging (40.9%), and cycling (35.9%). In addition, the consumption of soft drinks and sugary drinks in the sample of adolescents was shown to be high, namely 36.5% and 83%, respectively. Through this research, it is hoped that there will be strategies and efforts to improve adolescent physical activity patterns and reduce consumption of packaged drinks during the Covid-19 pandemic.
