Regular exercise lowers severe COVID-19 risk, but may raise infection odds COVID19 PhysicalActivity SARSCoV2 Vaccination HealthScreenings SouthKorea NHIS SevereCOVID19 MVPA JAMANetworkOpen
By Dr. Priyom Bose, Ph.D.Apr 26 2023 The emergence and rapid spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 lead to a global pandemic known as the coronavirus disease pandemic. Some factors associated with a high risk of severe COVID-19 are age, physical activity , and sex. Several studies have linked moderate to vigorous PA with a lower risk of severe infection.
About the Study A recent JAMA Network Open study investigated how MVPA is associated with the risk of severe COVID-19 infection. This study hypothesized that MVPA lowers the risk of severe SARS-CoV-2 infection but elevates the risk of contracting COVID-19. Data on the leisure time PA was collected using self-reported questionnaires during biennial health screenings. Based on the responses, PA intensity was grouped into two categories, i.e., moderate PA and vigorous PA. Moderate PA was associated with exercises that cause mild shortness of breath, such as doubles tennis and fast cycling, whereas vigorous PA was those that cause severe shortness of breath, such as hiking and running.
Based on MVPA frequency in period 2, the percentage of individuals who were physically inactive and contracted COVID-19 was 35.8%, and 35.9% of individuals were not affected by the disease. Similar percentages of COVID-19 incidence and non-COVID-19 manifestations were observed among the participants whose MVPA frequencies were 1 to 2 times, 3 to 4 times, and 5 or more times per week.
