“…Secretory IgA, in particular, is an antibody that helps to neutralize viruses and prevent them from entering cells. Further, exercise can potentially enhance the production of secretory IgA in the respiratory tract (31). Exercise duration may play a protective role in the respiratory tract through discriminatory change in mucosal immunity through the cellularity, antiviral activity, and gene expression (32).…”

COVID-19 infection and long COVID affect multiple organ systems, including the respiratory, cardiovascular, renal, digestive, neuroendocrine, musculoskeletal systems, and sensory organs. Exerkines, released during exercise, have a potent crosstalk effect between multiple body systems. This review describes the evidence of how exerkines can mitigate the effects of COVID-19 in each organ system that the virus affects. The evidence presented in the review suggests that exercise should be considered a first-line strategy in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 infection and long COVID disease.

“…During the pandemic, various international organizations, such as the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), the American Heart Association (AHA) and the WHO, recommended regular exercise at moderate intensity to maintain physical and psychological health (7,8) .In addition, physical exercise is an important immune system booster (2) , and although the risk factors associated with severe disease by COVID-19 are still being studied, there is increasing and consistent evidence of the relationship between physical inactivity and an increased risk of severe outcomes, i.e. hospitalization, intensive care unit admission, and/or death, similarly, patients who participated in aerobic and resistance training had a low risk of infection (9) . However, the training load dose and its response to the effort performed, as well as the most appropriate exercise modality, are not detailed (10,11) .…”

Introduction: During the COVID-19 pandemic, international organizations recommended regular physical exercise to maintain physical and mental health during confinement, however, it is an emerging disease, the evidence is not conclusive regarding the relationship between a physical inactivity and the risk of serious outcomes in patients with COVID-19, therefore, it is essential to identify the contribution of the type of physical exercise modality and the contribution to the immune system. Objective: To demonstrate the immunological response of different physical exercise modality in the population between 18 and 84 years of age, the population identified with the highest number of confirmed cases of COVID-19, in the report n°198 of the World Health Organization. Materials and methods: A review of the literature was carried out between Central Pubmed, Google Scholar and Scielo from January 2016 to December 2021. Results: Of the selected articles, it was possible to identify the main benefits in the immune response with both modalities of physical exercise (aerobic and/or resistance) in the target population. Conclusion: At present, the benefits on the immune response in patients with COVID-19 are completely unknown, which is why it is essential to identify the contribution on the immune response in different modalities of physical.
