Background: The COVID-19 pandemic and imposed restrictions influenced athletic societies, although current knowledge about mild consequences on cardiopulmonary physiologic parameters remains inconclusive. This study aimed to assess the impact of inflection exercise test (CPET) performance among endurance athletes (EA) with varied fitness level. Materials Methods: 49 EA (n male = 43, n female 6, mean age 39.94 ± 7.80 yr, height 178.45 cm, weight 76.62 kg; BMI 24.03 kgm −2 ) underwent double treadmill or cycle ergometer CPET body analysis (BA) pre- post-mild infection. Mild infection was defined as: (1) without hospitalization (2) prolonged health complications lasting for >14 days. Speed, power, heart rate (HR), oxygen uptake (VO 2 ), pulmonary ventilation, blood lactate concentration (at anaerobic threshold (AT)), respiratory compensation point (RCP), maximum exertion were measured before after Pearson’s Spearman’s r correlation coefficients Student t-test applied relationship between variables time. Results: anthropometric measurements did not differ significantly COVID-19. There a significant reduction in VO at AT RCP (both p < 0.001).

Background: Many people have experienced a high burden due to the spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and its serious consequences for health everyday life. Prior studies reported that physical activity (PA) may lower risk COVID-19 hospitalization. The present meta-analysis explored dose–response relationship between PA Methods: Epidemiological observational on hospitalization were included. Categorical relationships assessed using random effect models. Robust error meta-regression models continuous (metabolic equivalent [Met]-h/wk) across reporting quantitative estimates. Results: Seventeen (cohort\case–control\cross-section) met criteria inclusion in meta-analysis. dose-relationship analysis showed 40% (risk ratio [RR] 0.60, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.48–0.71) reduction compared lowest dose PA. results non-linear inverse (P non-linearity < .05) When total was or >10 Met-h/wk, an increase 4 Met-h/wk associated with 14% (RR = 0.83, CI: 0.85–0.87) 11% 0.89, 0.87–0.90) hospitalization, respectively.
