Scientific research now supports the suggestion from many public health officials—GET MOVING! According to a new study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, “Consistently meeting physical activity guidelines was strongly associated with a reduced risk for severe COVID-19 outcomes among infected adults.” This means that physical inactivity is linked to worse COVID-19 outcomes.
This study included 48,400 patients with a COVID-19 diagnosis from January 2020 – October 2020. Here’s a summary of its findings:
The U.S. Physical Activity Guidelines call for adults to engage in at least 150 minutes a week of moderate to vigorous physical activity. If you’re unsure of how to start an active lifestyle, we’re here to help!
Simple ways to start moving include taking a walk, parking your car further away from your destination, taking the stairs if possible, playing with your pets, riding a bike, dancing or joining your local fitness facility.
