Effect of quarantine on body weight

Spread the knowledge!

In this research published in the journal Nutricion Hospitalaria, Herrera-Valenzuela et al. (2020) studied the effect of the COVID-19 quarantine on body weight among combat sports athletes.

67 judo athletes from different countries took part in this research, showing an increase of 1.3 kg (±3-1) in body mass (3%) after the quarantine. In this research the authors also compared the effect in different combat sports. Read full article here.

In conclusion, combat sports athletes have experienced an increased body mass during the COVID-19 quarantine. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out training and nutritional strategies that seek to reduce the effect of confinement on body mass.

ABSTRACT
Introduction: to combat the COVID-19 pandemic governments have adopted measures such as quarantine and social distancing.
Objective: the main objective of the present study was to analyze the impact of COVID-19 quarantine on body mass in combat sports athletes.
Methods: we conducted a cross-sectional, prospective, multi-center study that evaluated 234 men (mean age and standard deviation, 29 ±10 years) residing in Argentina (n = 38); Bolivia (n = 1); Brazil (n = 105); Chile (n = 30); El Salvador (n = 1); Spain (n = 22); Mexico (n = 22) and Peru (n = 15). Of these, 12 practiced Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ), 54 boxing, 67 judo, 13 karate, 52 kick martial arts (MMA), and 27 taekwondo (TKD). An online survey was created using Google Forms. It was implemented between April 4th and April 17th, 2020. Athletes were consulted about their body mass before starting the quarantine and after 20 ± 5 days of quarantine.
Results: athletes in all combat sports were heavier during quarantine as compared to pre-quarantine (p < 0.001, d = 0.12).
Conclusions: combat sports athletes experienced an increase in body mass during the COVID-19 quarantine.
Keywords: Martial arts. Athletic performance. Weight loss. Body weight changes.

    I do love the manner in which you have presented this issue plus it really does present me personally some fodder for thought. On the other hand, from just what I have witnessed, I simply hope when the actual remarks pack on that individuals continue to be on issue and in no way get started on a soap box associated with the news of the day. Yet, thank you for this outstanding piece and although I do not really go along with it in totality, I value your perspective. Janaya Vassily Persas

    The subsequent time I learn a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I imply, I do know it was my choice to read, but I truly thought youd have something fascinating to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you can repair for those who werent too busy looking for attention. Elvina Darnell Staw

    I do like the manner in which you have framed this particular concern and it does indeed present me a lot of fodder for consideration. On the other hand, from just what I have observed, I only wish as other responses pile on that people continue to be on issue and not get started on a soap box involving some other news of the day. Still, thank you for this outstanding point and although I do not concur with the idea in totality, I value the point of view. Margit Robb Tannenwald

    naturally like your web site but you have to test the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very troublesome to inform the reality however I will certainly come again again. Emalee Edd Claretta
