whether they had a fever, how high their temperature was, whether and how
much they lost or gained weight, how long the illness lasted, etc. From the
aspect of motor abilities, it was necessary to distinguish what the decrease
in ability is reflected in: is it a loss of strength, speed, endurance, feeling tired,
etc. And from the aspect of the psychological state, it was important to de-
termine how and in what sense the shown reported motor weakness affects
the psychological state of an individual, primarily women. The questionnaire
considered loss of self-confidence, decreased concentration, sociological as-
pects and consequences of isolation during illness, etc. After the survey of
female students, the obtained data were processed by statistical methods
and a critical review and analysis of the obtained results was performed.
Results and Discussion
Of the 108 surveyed female students, 52 of them believe they had a mild
case of the coronavirus disease, while 18.5 of female students described
their disease as moderate. None of the participants had a severe case which
required hospitalization. 8.5 of them did not have a fever while they were
positive for COVID-19. 63 of students did report a fever of up to 38 Celsius
and 18.5 reported a fever of 39 Celsius. The duration of each case was from
2 to 30 days. The respondents had a fever from 1 to 16 days. Pneumonia was
reported by 15 of respondents. Cardiovascular issues were not reported by
any of the participants, while problems with blood pressure were reported
by 7. During their illness, none of the participants reported gaining any
weight, but 70 reported losing 3.6 kg on average.
When it comes to the impact of the disease on their motor skills (table 2),
we can see that many respondents reported losing a lot of their strength
or losing it completely: 50 reported losing a lot or all of their endurance
(50), while most of them felt considerably or completely fatigued (52).
Most of the female respondents (68) claim to have completely recovered
from the coronavirus within 4 weeks after being declared healthy. For sev-
eral of them (9) the consequences of the disease were such that they never
fully recovered, not even one year later. One third (32) of the respondents
claim that they feel no greater fatigue after the disease, and that they have
just as much energy as before. Slightly greater fatigue was reported by 36
of the respondents, while 31 reported getting considerably more fatigued
or getting tired a lot or much faster, and not possessing the same amount of
energy as before.
Our hypothesis that the coronavirus disease and physical inactivity during
isolation would cause a significant decrease in motor skills was confirmed.
