Exercising Regularly May Protect You
Against COVID-19 Hospitalization.
A new study, published in the
‘British Journal of Sports Medicine,’
has found a correlation between physical
activity and the severity of COVID-19 symptoms.
The study found that out of 48,440 Californians,
those who were most active before falling ill
were least likely to be hospitalized or die. .
The most active were made up of those who
exercise for at least 150 minutes a week. .
That means regular exercise, such as swimming,
biking, running or walking, can substantially protect
against severe cases of COVID-19. .
People in the least-active group, less than 10 minutes
of exercise a week, were hospitalized due to COVID-19
at twice the rate of the most-active group. .
That least-active group was also found
to be 2.5 times more likely to die. .
I think, based on this data we can tell
people that walking briskly for half an
hour five times a week should help
protect them against severe Covid-19, Study Lead Dr. Robert Sallis, via ‘The New York Times’.
Dr. Sallis, who led the new study, stressed
the importance of getting vaccinated. .
A 2020 study found that better fitness was tied
to an enhanced vaccine response.
