Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19): considerations on Physical Activity, Sport, Exercise and Physical Education at School
Abstract
Could physical activity and sport constitute health itineraries at the time of Covid-19?
This study, analyzing the scientific literature, aims to address this question from three points of view: the role of physical activity as a stimulator of the immune system; the fallout that the prolonged detention has had and will have on sports, professionals or amateurs; the role of physical education at school, as an element of physical and emotional "restructuring" of pupils, and how it can be rethought for the school year to become.
