Abstract
Aim: Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that cause a variety of illnesses, from the common cold to the acute respiratory distress syndrome, or SARS. The virus spread after the outbreak in China and some countries in Iran, which led to the closure of sports venues and places. This shutdown, despite its benefits to prevent the spread of the disease, on the other hand, lack of physical activity weakens the immune system and the spread of mental illness. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the physiological effects of exercise on the Covid-19 pandemic. Methods: In the present study, by examining the databases of Pupmed, SID, Google Scholar, Springer, studies related to the effect of exercise on the immune system and information related to coronavirus were selected. The contents of the articles were summarized and reported. Results: By examining the effects of exercise on the immune system, it was found that moderate-intensity exercise is the best way to increase the response of immune system factors in the Covid-19 pandemic. Conclusion: According to studies, it seems that exercise is one of the ways to strengthen the immune system not only in the case of coronavirus, but also as an effective method of prevention against other diseases. Infectious and non-infectious to be used.
