“Our findings are important because university students, especially those most vulnerable for poor nutrition and sedentary behaviour, should be targeted for interventions aimed at maintaining and improving physical activity and dietary practices during this pandemic and beyond,” said research lead and USask nutrition professor Dr. Gordon Zello (PhD). The four-month study involved 125 graduate and undergraduate students at USask and the University of Regina who were the most vulnerable as they were living independently or had roommates or partners, and were responsible for buying and preparing their own meals. The students responded to an online questionnaire about their food and drink consumption, physical activity and sedentary behaviour before and during the pandemic.
