Since the Covid-19 health emergency period, which has forced people to change their lifestyles, the University of Padua provides support for psycho-physical well-being through various projects whose materials are available on the #weunipd website and which can be used by everyone at any time.

Two proposals for physical exercise:

  • a circuit that can also be performed without tools;
  • A circuit that works the cardiovascular system and the muscles of the legs.

The University offers some video lessons to follow at home to approach and practice the disciplines of Taiji (Tai Chi Chuan), Qi Gong (Tao Yoga) and Yoga, which allow everyone to dedicate time to themselves for both physical and psychological well-being.

A research initiative that investigated the effects of lifestyle changes imposed by the health emergency, in relation to physical exercise and psychological well-being.

This study investigated in particular the immediate effect of the practice of physical exercise on some psychological characteristics, such as the presence of anxiety and mood.

Those who made themselves available were asked to answer some questions anonymously online, before and immediately after participating in a training.

The goal of this study was to see if online participation in physical activity programs can lead to any benefits from a psychological point of view.

The University makes available to everyone the Educhef video recipes and the tips to follow for responsible and sustainable shopping. Educhef is a real cooking course to educate to a better food culture, to be followed online and available in the version accessible by activating the subtitles in Italian or English.
