The Link Between Severe COVID and Exercise Is Even Stronger Than We Thought​



Doctors have long said that exercising can decrease the risk of severe outcomes of COVID-19, like hospitalization and death, but it's never quite been clear how much exercise is necessary to see those effects. Will one or two workouts a week suffice, or do you need to be working up a sweat every day to lessen your risk of severe COVID? A new study released in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine aimed to find out, looking at how different amounts of exercise affected outcomes of COVID among a large sample size of patients.

I think the title should be "The Link Between Severe Covid and (the Lack of) Exercise..." That headline confused a brother.
