- Title

- Abstract
Prophylaxis of severe forms of COVID-19 can be achieved by combating sedentary lifestyle, preferably through moderate intensity endurance exercises, dosed so as not to cause immune disorders. The mechanism is likely to be to protect the mitochondria from oxidative stress. The anti-inflammatory effects may also occur in the organs affected by the virus. The high intensity of the effort (interval training or resistance training) can promote, in addition to immune disorders, even the penetration of the virus into the target cells (according to a hypothesis to be confirmed by future studies). However, there are preliminary results according to which some high-intensity exercises can be adapted to avoid hypoxia and thus be used for COVID-19 prophylaxis. Prevention of serious complications of SARSCOV-2 infection through exercise may be of interest to obese, diabetic and the elderly, high-risk categories.
