“…In addition, a single session of aerobic exercise (60-70% HRmax) can acutely improve mood state, even in people diagnosed with clinical depression . Thus, in a context of pandemic and social isolation, the application of remote physical exercise sessions may be an alternative to overcome sedentary behavior, to improve mood state, and to prevent possible depressive symptoms, while maintaining social isolation for preventing SARS-CoV-2 contamination [3][4][5][6] . However, according to our knowledge, there are few studies that investigated the effects of a remote physical exercise session on mood state in older individuals.…”

However, recent studies suggest that home con nement can reduce the physical activity levels and increase sedentary behavior in the older 3,4 . In addition, the COVID-19 home-con nement promotes negative effects on mental and emotional health, and on sleep quality in individuals with unhealthy lifestyle behaviors 5 .…”

Purpose To assess the effect of a remote home-based resistance exercise session on mood profile in older individuals under social isolation during coronavirus 19 disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Methods 32 older individuals (20 women; age = 67.7 ± 6.4 y) who interrupted their regular physical activity routine during the COVID-19 pandemic participated in a remote home-based exercise session via video call. The Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS) questionnaire was applied one day before and immediately after a body weight exercise session (three sets of 15 to 30 reps in six exercises) to evaluate participants’ mood state. Results Significant post-exercise reductions (P < 0.05) were found in tension (41.2 ± 8.1), depression (61.7 ± 41.8 %), anger (81.2 ± 66.2 %) and mental confusion (42,9 ± 33.1 %), while a significant post-exercise increase (P = 0.023) was found in vigor (18.5 ± 5.1 %). No significant difference between pre- and post-exercise was found in fatigue. The pos-exercise changes on mood state factors resulted in significant reduction (P = 0.032) on total mood disorder score (20.2 ± 11.1 %) after exercise. Conclusion A remote home-based resistance exercise session was effective to improve mood profile in older individuals under social isolation during COVID-19 pandemic.

Background and Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic has heavily hit Brazil and, in particular, our Clinic's current location in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro city, where, as of mid-February 2021, resulting in one 1 death per 266 inhabitants. After having recently updated the vital status and mortality data in our exercise population (CLINIMEX cohort), we hypothesized that reviewing their evaluation reports would offer a unique opportunity to unearth some relevant information about the association between selected variables assessed in our comprehensive Exercise Medicine evaluation protocol; in particular, aerobic and musculoskeletal (MUSK) fitness, clinical variables, and death due to COVID-19. Methods: A retrospective study using data from the CLINIMEX cohort that included 6,101 non-athletic men and women aged >30 years who were alive as of March 12th, 2020 and who's vital status was followed up to December 14th, 2020. For data analysis, two approaches were used: 1) comparison of frequency of deaths and relative % of underlying causes of death between the last 18-months pre-pandemic and 9-month pandemic periods; and 2) data from 51 variables from the participant's most recent evaluation, including sex, age and clinical profile plus other variables obtained from physical examination, spirometry, (MUSK) fitness (e.g., sitting-rising test) and maximal cycling leg cardiopulmonary testing (e.g. maximal VO2 and cardiorespiratory optimal point) were selected for comparison between groups of non-COVID-19 and COVID-19 deaths. Results: Age at death varied from 51 to 102 years [mean = 80 years]. Only 4 participants that died, 3 COVID-19 and 1 non-COVID-19, were healthy at the time of their evaluation [p=.52]. COVID-19 was the most frequent (n=35; 36.5%) cause among the 96 deaths during this 9-month period. Comparing pre-pandemic and pandemic periods, there was a 35% increase in deaths and proportionately fewer deaths due to neoplasia and other causes but not from cardiovascular or endocrine diseases. Results of aerobic and MUSK fitness tests indicated that the majority of the study participants were relatively unfit when compared to available age and sex-reference values. Indeed, there were few differences in the 51 selected variables between the two groups, suggesting a somewhat healthier profile among COVID-19 death participants; lower body mass index [p=.04], higher % of predicted forced vital capacity [p=.04], lower number of previous percutaneous coronary interventions [p=.04] and lower resting supine diastolic blood pressure [p=.03], with no differences for aerobic/MUSK fitness variables or past history of exercise/sports [p>.05]. Conclusion: Our data support that COVID-19 was a frequent and premature cause of death in a convenience sample of primarily white, unhealthy, middle-age and elderly individuals and that data from exercise/sport history and physical fitness testing obtained some years earlier were unable to distinguish non-COVID-19 and COVID-19 deaths.

Our aim was to test the hypothesis that tele-supervised home-based exercise training (exercise) is an effective strategy for improving cardiovascular, respiratory, and functional capacity parameters in individuals that were hospitalized due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Thirty-two individuals (52 ± 10 years; 17F) randomly assigned to exercise (N = 12) and control groups (N = 20), had their anthropometric (weight, body mass index), hemodynamic (brachial and central blood pressure), vascular (arterial stiffness), ventilatory (pulmonary function and respiratory muscle strength), and functional parameters (handgrip strength, five-time sit to stand [FTSTS], timed up and go test [TUG] and six-minute walking test [6MWT]) assessed at baseline (30 to 45 days of hospital discharged) and after 12 weeks of follow-up. Both groups similarly increased (P < 0.001) forced vital capacity (absolute and % of predicted), forced expiratory volume in the first second (absolute and % of predicted), and handgrip strength during follow-up. However, only exercise group reduced carotido-femoral pulse wave velocity (-2.0 ± 0.6 m/s, P = 0.048), and increased (P < 0.05) resting oxygen saturation (1.9 ± 0.6 %), mean inspiratory pressure (24.7 ± 7.1 cmH2O), mean expiratory pressure (20.3 ± 5.8 cmH2O) and % of predicted mean expiratory pressure (14 ± 22 %) during follow-up. No significant changes were found in any other variable during follow-up. Present findings suggest that tele-supervised home-based exercise training can a potential adjunct therapeutic to rehabilitate individuals that were hospitalized due to COVID-19
