South Africa, like other countries around the world, has used a lockdown strategy to address the initial phases of the COVID-19 epidemic. The significant restrictions on population movement have included initially limiting exercise to the home. There is substantial evidence for the many benefits of exercise. This study specifically emphasises the benefits of exercise to the immune system, particularly for those most vulnerable to the effects of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and proposes measures to improve access to exercise in a demographically diverse and economically disparate society.
与世界上其他国家一样，南非采用了封锁策略来应对新冠疫情的初始阶段。对人口流动的重大限制最初包括将锻炼限制在家里。有大量证据表明锻炼有诸多益处。本研究特别强调锻炼对免疫系统的益处，尤其是对那些最易受新冠病毒影响的人群，并提出措施，以便在一个人口结构多样且经济差异巨大的社会中改善锻炼机会。
