Abstract:
The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) seems to be having a major impact on sports and physical activity behaviors globally. The pandemic has forced many people around the world to stay at home and self-isolate for a period of time. The benefits of sports, physical activity and exercise have been demonstrated across the lifetime. We are meant to move and many of our body’s systems work better when we are consistently physically active. Exercise may be especially beneficial for older adults and people with chronic health conditions, such as diabetes, arthritis, or heart disease.
