Background of the Study

Physical states places particular value on our society. The characteristics

of external factors such as inadequate nutrition and an abusive environment

influences physical changes. Many biological physical changes take place during

adolescent years, such as increases in height, acquisition of muscle mass, the

distribution of body fat. Physical dissatisfaction relates to negative evaluations of

body size, shape, height and weight, and it usually involves awareness of

discrepancy between a person's assessment of his or her body and his or her

ideal body. (Grogan, 2016)

Home quarantine consequences is a change in lifestyle, leading to a

Physical changes of the body. Many people do not use fitness centers for fear of

transmission of virus leading them to weight gain. (Hasanzadeh et al., 2020)

people deal with stress and depression leading to unhealthy diet and reduced

physical activity. Together with the unhealthy food and diet, the reduction of

physical activity will contribute to weight loss or gain during quarantine. (Mattioli

et al., 2020). Quarantine is regularly an unpleasant encounter loss of opportunity,

vulnerability over infection status, and fatigue can make sensational impacts.

(Puviani et al., 2020)

The differentiation of boys and girls in dominance of obesity. It's intended

to evaluate different result centered to gender. Where the self-regulation is also

affecting girls and boys in terms of weight. Having low of self regulation in boys
will cause the high tolerance of gaining weight. To girls that has high of self

regulation the obesity decreases. (Anderson,2018).

Studies in general populations subject to similar constraints have

investigated the effect of self-quarantine on weight-related behaviors. Within a

group of adults participating in an ongoing study who were over the acceptable

weight range and were faced with the additional challenge of attempting to self-

manage their weight during this time, they had the opportunity to discuss these

problems. Many of the concerns posed by our participants were comparable to

those concerns highlighted in the general population as well as obesity patients

with reports of high levels of 'stress eating' and 'eating out of boredom,'

accompanied by 'higher food intake" more food options' and 'higher junk food

consumption.' The 'absence of access to facilities' and the 'loss of social

exercise' were the most common effects of exercise recorded in this study.

Anxiety, depression, fear, lack of motivation and lost social life have been the

most experienced. Although less frequently reported, some positive effects such

as 'longer' were mentioned in this study,' home-cooked food" modified exercise

routine," less stress'. Only when the diet and activity environments are changed

to be more tolerant of healthy eating and active living in a variety of conditions

would negative responses to lifestyle pressures such as social distance

lockdowns be attenuated. (Ramachandran et al.,2020)


Home Quarantine is a prime factor of changes in physical aspects. In

which, each people changes lifestyle during the quarantine enable to stay at

home. Things that are excessively made are done such as; different eating habits

that sometimes response for stress, time of rest. There were significant

relationships between predictor variables hours of sleep per night and physical

activity time on reported weight gain. By gaining weight, there were important

associations between hours of sleep per night predictor variables and physical

activity. Insufficient sleep, snacking after dinner, lack of dietary restraint, eating in

response to stress, and decreased physical activity are risk factors for weight

gain during self-quarantine. Those are instances that actually affect lifestyle, in

terms of physique. (Zachary et al.,2020).
