| Anotation | The increasing incidence of civilisation diseases (CVD), compounded by the pandemic situation of COVID-19, has become a global problem in recent years. The literature provides a plenty of scientifically validated information on approaches that can be applied to prevent the development of CVD. Basic and primary strategies in this area include dietary modification and sufficient physical activity (Lichtenstein et al., 2006; Yumuk et al., 2015). In almost all cases, a deliberate exercise or dietary intervention has an immediate effect on reducing the risk of developing CVD (Muscogiuri et al., 2021; Pedersen & Saltin, 2015). However, often the positive results achieved are reversed in a relatively short period of time and in some cases are exacerbated. This problem arises when the intervention ends, which in most cases leads to people returning to their previous habits. What is the reason why people revert back to their previous habits despite the positive impact of the interventions? The answer to this question is not simple and requires a complex insight. One way to answer this question may be to include "follow-up" monitoring after the intervention has ended. This monitoring retrospectively maps the period in which probands may not have followed any intervention rules, and when most of them return to their previous habits, may provide us with insights into the reasons why habit change sometimes has a very short sustainability (Nordmo et al., 2020). Another possibility may be to try to analyse the people as detailed as possible, from anthropometric, physiological and also psychosocial perspectives (Rodgers & Collins, 2020). In particular, psychosocial factors of any type acting on the individual during this period may play a key role in the success/failure and sustainability/unsustainability of the changes achieved. |
