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