The COVID-19 pandemic contributed to an increased prevalence of overweight (11.3%) and obesity (4.4%) among the student population. In endurance running, both male and female students displayed a similar trend\u2014initial improvement followed by a decline\u2014resulting in reduced performance times by 16.7 s for males and 13.2 s for females in 2020. Notably, vital capacity and upper limb strength showed consistent upward trends from 2018 to 2020 for both genders. Specifically, male students\u2019 vital capacity increased by 2.0% and 3.4%, and upper limb strength by 4.8% and 8.3%, in consecutive years. Similarly, female students\u2019 vital capacity rose by 1.3% and 4.4%, while their upper limb strength improved by 3.9% and 3.5%, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The short-term impact of the COVID-19 epidemic significant effected college students\u2019 endurance running performance.
