Has the COVID-19 pandemic made young adults less fit?

A recent study in Scientific Reports reveals that one year after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, young adults experienced significant declines in physical fitness parameters, including explosive power, aerobic and anaerobic capacities, and weight. These changes could have serious health implications, especially for those with diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, underscoring the importance of promoting physical activity during and after pandemics.
