New Delhi: COVID-19 seems to be spreading its tentacles once again. As India sees a rising upward trend in the infection rate, a new study could pave the way for avoiding viral infection. According to the latest research, regular exercise and physical activity lower the risk of being infected by SARS-CoV-2 or getting seriously ill with the infection.
Researchers estimated that physical activity and fitness exercise for 20 minutes a day can provide much-needed benefits in the fight against the viral pandemic. The study was published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. Researchers analysed a database of relevant studies published between November 2019 and March 2022 and included 1.8 million adults, of which 54 per cent were women. While the average of participants was 53, most of the studies were from South Korea, England, Iran, Canada, the UK, Spain, Brazil, and Palestine.
