Abstract :

Abstract Since the emergence of the coronavirus, deaths have begun to increase rapidly. The weak immune system is shown as the most important factor in the death of individuals who cannot resist the coronavirus. The effects of COVID-19 on the immune system and the role of physical activity in this process represent a critical interaction on health. In this context, understanding this relationship reveals measures that can be taken to both reduce the effects of the disease and optimize immune system functions. For this reason, it is noteworthy that there are individuals who turn to nutrition and exercise programs to strengthen their immune systems. The right exercises are low and moderate-intensity exercises. The potential effects of COVID-19 on the cardiovascular system and the role of physical inactivity on cardiovascular health are critical for both epidemic and general health management. It is recommended that the heart rate should not exceed 130-140. In people exposed to the COVID-19 virus, physical activity should be suspended according to the body guide, and if necessary, it should be restarted in a non-severe way under the supervision of a doctor. With the impact of the pandemic, restrictions, and social isolation, individuals' physical activity levels may decrease, but maintaining or improving healthy living habits during this period can have positive effects on both physical and mental health. Both healthcare professionals and individuals need to understand the systemic effects of lack of physical activity and the disease-causing muscle weakness, pain, and other musculoskeletal problems.
