Abstract

Objective: To analyze physical activity as a modifying factor in COVID-19 mortality. Methods: A review on physical activity as a modifying factor in COVID-19 mortality was carried out in different scientific articles retrieved from databases such as: Frontiers, Wiley, Pubmed, Scielo and Google Scholar. Results and conclusions: The vast majority of the population declared not only a significant reduction in daily physical activity a, as well as an increase in sedentary time, in a general way the confinement imposed by the pandemic caused an expressive increase in sedentary behavior with an elevation in the time spent watching television (72.3%), connecting to social networks (81.9%) and using electronic devices (82.7%). Thus, there was a 40% -60% reduction in time spent in some aerobic exercises.
