This confirmatory study hypothesises that university students’ fitness level effort decreased after pandemic compared results obtained before sanitary restrictions. Material Methods: Fifty female students at economic faculties, part of two groups 25 each, in age range between 19 21, passed six tests. The applied tests targeted strength (sit-ups squads 30 s), power (standing long jump), flexibility (sit reach), coordination (Matorin test), cardio-respiratory (Ruffier test). Results: All test results, except one, demonstrate a statistically significant difference, confirming hypothesis samples differ strength, power, flexibility, coordination, fitness. By calculating Cohen d effect size, standardized mean difference demonstrates how substantially different are samples. Conclusions: compares objective standardised successive young women can contribute better understanding long-term impact breakdown on level. abilities decrease 10 28 per cent, with most worrying recorded abdominal Remedial measures needed reverse potential adults crisis.
