Background: Obese people are at risk of becoming severely ill due to SARS-CoV-2. The exercise benefits on health have been emphasized. Aim: To investigate the correlation of obesity with the length of hospitalization, the pre-and post-hospitalization exercise preferences of COVID-19 patients, and the impact of pre-admission or post-hospitalization physical activity on dyspnea one month after hospitalization and recovery time. Methods: A telephone survey was conducted in patients hospitalized at the
Informed Consent Statement: Informed consent was obtained from all subjects involved in the study.

'Two-thirds of the patients were obese. Obesity was not associated with the hospitalization '
'time. Two-thirds of the patients used to engage in physical activity before hospitalization. '
'Males exercised in a higher percentage and more frequently than women before and after '
'hospitalization. The methodical pre-hospitalization exercise was associated with lower levels '
'of dyspnea one month after hospitalization. In-hospital weight loss, comorbidities, and '
'dyspnea on admission independently predicted longer recovery time. Lockdown had boosted men’s '

'admission predicted a longer post-hospitalization recovery time. The pre-hospitalization '
'exercise was associated with less post-hospitalization dyspnea and recovery time.</jats:p>',
