Abstract
Background and aim: Covid-19 has caused a global epidemic with a large number of infected and deceased. Countries have applied social restrictions in different periods of time to prevent the spread and containment of the virus. These restrictions have affected physical activities. This study examines the effect of the restrictions caused by Corona-Covid-19 on Weight, Body Mass Index and Basal Metabolic Rate on Iranian karate athletes.
Methods: Active karate members of Iran Karate Federation formed the statistical population. In order to collecting data, the questionnaire was provided by Google Drive online platform. The required information before Corona (PRE) and during Corona (POST) was received by 406 questionnaires. 31 questionnaires were removed due to invalid information. 375 people were investigated as a statistical sample. The SPSS version 23 software and dependent t-test were used for data analysis. The P value of less than 0.05 was considered as a significant level.
Results: The research declared: due to the restrictions of covid-19, there is a significant difference in Weight, Body Mass Index and Basal Metabolic Rate (p<0.001).
Conclusion: In order to compensate and reduce the complications caused by the imposition of restrictions of covid-19 or similar cases of restrictions in the future, it is necessary to perform alternative physical activities in a limited space, comply a proper nutrition pyramid and rest on time emphasized.
