THE IMPORTANCE OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND EXERCISE IN COVID-19 PANDEMIA

Year 2020, Volume: 1 Issue: 2, 19 - 21, 30.12.2020

Abstract

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the respiratory pathogen SARS-CoV-2 virus. The World Health Organization and most governments have called on all individuals to stay at home in order to reduce the risk of disease transmission and to prevent sudden burdens on health systems. As a result, individuals of all ages, including children and young people, especially the elderly and individuals with chronic diseases, who are at high mortality risk for COVID-19, have faced a sudden sedentary life. Regular exercise (low or moderate intensity) and increased physical activity (>5000 steps/day) are essential to cope with the adverse effects on all systems in a short time due to physical inactivity, to maintain physical and mental health, and to avoid severe COVID-19 symptoms. In this review, it is aimed to draw attention to the importance of physical activity and exercise in the pandemic period and to give suggestions to individuals who want to gain regular physical activity behavior.

COVID-19 PANDEMİSİNDE FİZİKSEL AKTİVİTE VE EGZERSİZİN ÖNEMİ

Year 2020, Volume: 1 Issue: 2, 19 - 21, 30.12.2020

Abstract

COVID-19, solunum yolu patojeni olan SARS-CoV-2 virüsünün neden olduğu bulaşıcı bir hastalıktır. Hastalığın bulaşma riskinin azaltılması ve sağlık sistemlerine olan ani yüklenmelerin engellenmesi için Dünya Sağlık Örgütü ve hükümetlerin çoğu, tüm bireylere evde kal çağrısı yapmıştır. Bunun sonucunda COVID-19 için mortalite riski yüksek olan yaşlılar ve kronik hastalığı olan bireyler başta olmak üzere, çocuklar ve gençler dahil her yaştan birey ani bir sedanter yaşamla karşı karşıya kalmıştır. Fiziksel inaktiviteye bağlı kısa süre içerisinde tüm sistemler üzerinde ortaya çıkan olumsuz etkilerle başa çıkabilmek, fiziksel ve zihinsel sağlığı sürdürebilmek ve şiddetli COVID-19 semptomlarından kaçınmak için düzenli egzersiz (düşük veya orta yoğunlukta) ve artan fiziksel aktivite (>5000 adım/gün) şarttır. Bu derlemede fiziksel aktivite ve egzersizin pandemi dönemindeki önemine dikkat çekmek ve düzenli fiziksel aktivite davranışı kazanmak isteyen bireylere öneriler vermek amaçlanmıştır.
