Retrospective 439 severe COVID-19 hospitalized patients with hypertension, 201 receiving a supervised exercise program, showing significantly lower mortality with exercise. Exercise included of aerobic, breathing, and musculoskeletal exercises, 3 to 4 times per week. There were significantly more control patients on beta-adrenergic blockers and thiazide diuretics.
There are many possible mechanisms of action, including improved circulation, stress reduction, hormone regulation, improved sleep, increased antioxidant levels, and increased nitric oxide levels in the respiratory system. Over-exercising may be detrimental and lead to impaired immune function.
risk of death, 47.5% lower, RR 0.53, p = 0.02, high activity levels 16 of 201 (8.0%), low activity levels 62 of 238 (26.1%), NNT 5.5, adjusted per study, odds ratio converted to relative risk, multivariable.

However, pharmacological therapies for 38 HTN are ineffective against COVID-19 progression and severity. It has been 39 proposed that exercise training (EX) could be used as post-COVID treatment, 40 which does not rule out the possible effects during hospitalization for COVID-19. 41 Therefore, we aimed to determine the impact of supervised EX on HTN patients 42 with COVID-19 during hospitalization. Among a total of 1,508 hospitalized COVID- 43 19 patients (confirmed by PCR), 439 subjects were classified as having HTN and 44 were divided into two groups: EX (n=201) and control (n=238) groups. EX (3 to 4 45 times per week during all hospitalizations) consisted of aerobic exercises (15 to 45 46 min) (i.e., walking); breathing exercises (10 to 15 min) (i.e., diaphragmatic 47 breathing, pursed-lip breathing, active abdominal contraction); and musculoskeletal 48 exercises (8–10 sets of 12–15 repetitions/week) (lifting dumbbells, standing up and 49 sitting, lumbar stabilization). Our data revealed that the EX (clinician: patient, 1:1 50 ratio) intervention was able to improve survival rates among controlled HTN 51 patients with COVID-19 during their hospitalization when compared to the control 52 group (chi-squared: 4.83; hazard ratio: 1.8; 95% CI: 1.117 to 2.899; p=0.027). 53 Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that EX was a prognostic..
