Exercise for COVID-19
9th treatment shown to reduce risk in October 2020
 
*, now known with p < 0.00000000001 from 66 studies.
No treatment is 100% effective. Protocols combine complementary and synergistic treatments. * >10% efficacy in meta analysis with ≥3 clinical studies.
3,900+ studies for 60+ treatments. c19early.org
Statistically significant lower risk is seen for mortality, ventilation, ICU admission, hospitalization, progression, recovery, and cases. 51 studies from 51 independent teams in 24 countries show statistically significant improvements.
Meta analysis using the most serious outcome reported shows 39% [34‑44%] lower risk. Results are similar for higher quality and peer-reviewed studies.
Results are robust — in exclusion sensitivity analysis 54 of 66 studies must be excluded to avoid finding statistically significant efficacy in pooled analysis.
Results are consistent with the overall risk of all cause mortality based on cardiorespiratory fitness — Laukkanen show RR 0.55 [0.50-0.61] for the top vs. bottom tertiles.
Most studies analyze exercise/physical activity levels before infection, comparing regular/moderate exercise and lower/no exercise. Risk may increase with more extreme activity levels.
No treatment or intervention is 100% effective. All practical, effective, and safe means should be used based on risk/benefit analysis.
