Abstract

Social distancing measures due coronavirus pandemic, have had a significant effect on peoples’ physical activity as part of their daily life. Furthermore, isolation may alter all three dimensions of well-being: physical, psychological, and social well-being. The purpose of this study is to discuss the effect of physical activity on the immune system and, in antithesis the risk of inactivity in pandemic conditions. Regular exercising while pandemic isolation would prevent the negative effects of loneliness and the lack of usual outdoor activities. A healthy diet, staying in a good shape and positive emotions stimulate and harden the immune system. Physical activity prevent weight gaining and keeps the BMI and muscle mass percentage in balance with body fat while overweight and especially obesity is not only a risk factor for infected patients, but disease severity increased with BMI.
