Abstract:
Our study investigated whether changes in physical activity due to COVID-19 mediate the association between quarantine or hospitalization due to COVID-19 and COVID-19 life impact score. A total of 154 participants (0.23%) were quarantined or hospitalized due to COVID-19. There were mediating effects of changes in physical activity due to COVID-19 (β = -1.63, 95% confidence interval = -0.77 to -2.42). This study suggests that measures to minimize lifestyle changes during the pandemic are required to reduce negative consequences.

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
