Abstract :
Background: The sedentary lifestyle caused by the COVID-19 quarantine has resulted in a devastating threat tohumanhealth due to
stress and anxiety. Although infected individuals must stop exercising, exercise is not prohibitedwhenwithout symptoms and complications.
Whereas exercise can be effective in immune systemreinforcement during the prevention, recovery, and post-recovery
stages, COVID-19-recovered Individuals (CRI) must exercise under accurate considerations.
Objectives: This study aimed to study exercise in cold weather for the CRI.
Methods: This article overviews how different exercises affect the immune system. PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar
Databases and keywords including cold weather, COVID-19, immune system, and combined exercise were used to access scientific
articles.
Results: Recent reports show that different sport sandexercises significantly improve COVID-19 symptoms, although there are many
discrepancies among researchers in prescribing exercise programs (various training protocols, duration, and intensity). Also, CRIshould avoid exercise in cold weather due to breathing complicationsConclusions:Based on the present study, regular exercises (aerobic, resistance, and combined) with moderate intensity improve COVID-19
symptoms and the immune system.
