- Abstract
Aim. The aim of the study was to highlight the physical condition status of young male students after the pandemic period, in the first year after online courses versus the second year. Methods of research. The research methods used in this paper were: scientific documentation, Paired Samples t - test, statistical mathematics and graphical method. Aerobic (cardiorespiratory) capacity or aerobic fitness was assessed by the 2-Km Walk Test, which is very effective for measuring this parameter. The research was carried out on the football field, in the open air within the UPB Complex, the initial testing was carried out in November 2021, as soon as the university courses physically started, and the final testing took place in November 2022. Results. The average aerobic fitness index of the students is lower in the initial testing (after the online courses) compared to the final testing. Conclusions. We can conclude that the pandemic period led to an awareness of the acute need for exercise among young people as a means of combating the "technostress" generated by exclusively online courses.
