“…Up to now, no study has illustrated the straight effects of physical activity on patients with COVID-19. In general, all researches have considered the in luences of physical activity on reducing the risks of COVID-19 [1,[17][18][19][20]. Studies, before the occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic, had examined the relationship between exercising and the immune system function [21,22].…”

“…Many studies have examined the acute effects of an exercise bout on the immune system of the elderly, and the results showed that even one session could improve immune response [25]. However, studies on athletes and their immune system responses in short-term and longterm training demonstrated that the immune system is enhanced by regular exercise, suggesting that athletes may be more resistant to the coronavirus than others [17]. On the other hand, little information is available on the longterm effects of training on the immune system of the elderly https://doi.org/10.29328/journal.jsmt.1001051 [26].…”

Background: With the outbreak of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), many studies’ attention to this world’s complexity increased dramatically. Different views on sports and physical activities have been presented, which have addressed the advantages and disadvantages of sports activities in this period differently. The purpose of this review was to investigate the physiological and psychological effects of physical activity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Using PubMed, Science Direct, Medline, and Web of Science electronic databases, this review summarizes the current knowledge of direct and indirect effects of physical activity during the COVID-19 pandemic, evaluating the advantages and drawbacks of specific exercise physiology conditions. All types of studies were assessed, including systematic reviews, case-studies, and clinical guidelines. The literature search identified 40 articles that discussed COVID-19, immune system, the relation between immune system and exercise or diet, and psychological impacts of physical activity. Results: Forty articles review showed that the immune system depends on the type, frequency, intensity, and duration of the exercise. Intense or prolonged exercise with short recovery periods can progressively weaken the immune system and increase the risk of COVID-19. One of the acute responses after moderate-intensity training is improved immune function and a decrease in inflammatory cytokines. Paying attention to dietary intakes of micro-and macronutrients in conjunction with exercise can strengthen the condition to fight against coronavirus. Exercise can also affect the psychological dimensions of the COVID-19 pandemic, including depression, anxiety, and stress, which improve community mental health during the quarantine. Conclusion: Setting appropriate physical activity based on individuals’ properties and proper diet plan may enhance the physiological and psychological body’s condition to fight against coronavirus.

“…De modo geral, os estudos selecionados sugerem que a forma e o ambiente da atividade física e exercício físico sejam adaptados ao contexto em que se está inserido o indivíduo, incluindo atividades seguras ao ar livre [24][25][28][29]31,35,42 e no ambiente domiciliar 25,[30][31]42 . Foi aconselhada diminuição do comportamento sedentário residencial, com atividades básicas e instrumentais da vida diária [24][25]40 , mediante gasto energético demandado.…”

No ano de 2020 a história mundial ficou marcada pela Covid-19, doença que causou inúmeros casos e óbitos, de interesse internacional à saúde pública. Esta revisão objetivou mapear as publicações brasileiras sobre recomendações de atividade física e exercício físico durante a pandemia Covid-19. Trata-se de uma revisão de escopo realizada de 22 estudos oriundos de três bases de dados, que continham recomendações expressas sobre prática de atividade física e exercício físico pela população brasileira durante a pandemia Covid-19. A análise dos dados se deu com a descrição das características dos artigos e de seus principais resultados em tabela, atrelada à análise textual dos artigos via software IRaMuTeQ. O corpus textual revelou o conceito de atividade física ligado à saúde, bem como orientações para atividade física e exercício físico com utilização de recursos tecnológicos, além da previsão de programas de exercício físico. A prática regular de atividade física e exercício físico durante a pandemia Covid-19 mostrou-se essencial à manutenção da saúde, sobretudo se regular e orientada, havendo possibilidade de utilização de tecnologias em abordagem individual ou grupal em vários cenários, sobretudo dentro de casa e ao ar livre.

“…The COVID-19 pandemic beginning in 2020 changed how we live and relate to each other during and after lockdown/confinement. That situation produced studies linked to questions such as a possible reduction in physical exercise [10], the psychological effects of confinement [11,12], changes in patterns of alcohol consumption [13], problematic internet use [12], and changes in the use of technological devices [14].…”

Keep Playing or Restart? Questions about the Evaluation of Video Game Addiction from a Systematic Review in the Context of COVID-19

et al. 2023

This is a systematic review of the impact of COVID-19 confinement on problematic video game use and addiction. The research questions were: (1) What instruments were used to measure problematic gaming and video game addiction in the context of COVID-19; (2) how many studies made comparisons with analogous samples measured at two timepoints (pre-confinement and confinement); and (3) what were the results of these studies in terms of a possible increase of problematic gaming and video game addiction during confinement. The review followed the PRISMA model and used Web of Science and Scopus. Following an initial identification of 99 articles, inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied leaving 31 articles in response to the first two research questions and 6 articles for the third. The results show that a wide variety of instruments were used, with IGDS9-SF and IGD-20 being the most common. A high number of non-validated ad hoc instruments were used. Only six (22.58%) of the 31 studies examined compared pre-confinement measures with measures during confinement. Those studies were inconclusive about the negative impact of confinement on the variables mentioned, with some studies noting an increase in problematic behaviors (n = 4) and others not confirming that (n = 2). The conclusion is a need for more scientific evidence based on validated instruments, consolidation of the concepts related to problematic gaming, and consideration of other theories such as the active user to produce more robust, transferrable findings.
