Introduction: COVID-19 is an acute infectious disease that has a great impact on the immune system and is influenced by physical activity. Therefore, the present study was designed to compare the effect of physical activity on some immune and inflammatory indicators in exercise and non-exercise patients with COVID-19.
Materials and Methods: In this quasi-experimental research, 39 men with COVID-19 disease, which admitted to the Saadat clinic in Gerash city, were selected through purposive sampling and divided into two groups of exercise people with a background of three days of moderate activity per week (n=20), and non-exercise people without regular activity (n=19). The International Physical Activity Questionnaire short form was used to assess the rate of physical activity and also, before and after the start of treatment, white blood cell, C-reactive protein, interleukin 6, lactate dehydrogenase, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, creatinine phosphokinase, and blood oxygen levels were compared. The covariance test was used at a significance level of p<0.05.
Results: The results showed that there is a significant difference in variables of white blood cell (p<0.05), C - reactive protein (p<0.05), blood oxygen level (p<0.001), and interleukin 6 (p<0.001) between groups of active and inactive patients; while other variables did not show any significant differences (p>0.05).
Conclusion: It seems that regular physical activity probably can prevent the harmful effects of the coronavirus by improving the immune system and reducing its complications compared to inactive people. |
