The Evaluation of Physiopathological and Immunological Exercise Effects During Pandemic and Pathogenicity on Coronavirus COVID-19 (with Considerations and Instructions of Doing Related Physical Activity)

Abstract

Context: The 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19), also commonly known as the coronavirus, is an infectious disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The virus is associated with several challenges, including an increased sedentary lifestyle, obesity, and elevated inflammatory factors and related diseases. Evidence Acquisition: In conducting this research, we utilized the latest articles from prestigious domestic and foreign journals indexed in databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect. Results: There are various hypotheses regarding the intensity of exercise and its impact on infection rates. Moderate-intensity exercise is believed to enhance immune function and reduce mortality, whereas high-intensity and stressful exercise may have the opposite effect. When exposed to infection, high-intensity exercise can suppress the immune system, whereas moderate-intensity exercise may reduce inflammation. Conclusions: Therefore, given that exercise affects the strength and anti-inflammatory mechanisms of the immune system, it plays a crucial role in reducing complications for patients. Consequently, it can be concluded that exercise strengthens the immune system, reduces inflammation, and creates favorable physiological and immunological conditions to aid athletes in overcoming the virus.
