The recent pandemics of the SARS-Cov-2 has pushed physical activity (PA) and exercise at the forefront of the discussion, since PA is associated with a reduced risk of developing all the chronic diseases strongly associated with severe cases of SARS-Cov-2 and exercise is considered a complimentary therapeutics for the treatment of these age-related conditions. The mechanisms through which PA and exercise could contribute to reduce the severity of the SARS-Cov-2 infection would be multiple, including their capacity to boost the immune system, but also their global effect on slowing down the progression of the aging process. The present perspective presents a discussion on how PA and exercise might hypothetically be linked with SARS-Cov-2 infection, current scientific gaps and shortcomings as well as recommendations for advancing research in this area, placing the debate in the context of aging and gerosciences.
最近的 SARS-CoV-2 大流行将身体活动 (PA) 和运动推到了讨论的前沿,因为 PA 与降低所有与 SARS-CoV-2 严重病例密切相关的慢性疾病的风险有关,而运动被认为是这些与年龄相关疾病的补充治疗方法。PA 和运动可能有助于降低 SARS-CoV-2 感染严重程度的机制可能是多方面的,包括它们增强免疫系统的能力,但也包括它们对减缓衰老过程进展的全面影响。本观点讨论了 PA 和运动如何与 SARS-CoV-2 感染、当前的科学差距和缺点以及推进该领域研究的建议假设性地联系起来,将辩论置于衰老和老年科学的背景下。
