Should, and how can, exercise be done during a coronavirus outbreak? An interview with Dr. Jeffrey A. Woods

摘要

Furthermore, to prevent the spread of the new and deadly virus, all cities in China now have shut down most public places and facilities, including parks, leaving many people with no place to exercise. As a result, people may wonder if one should exercise at all during the outbreak and if so, how? These ques- tions made Journal of Sport and Health Science remember some well-known studies done by my colleague, Dr. Jeffrey A. Woods and his team at the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign (UIUC), in which they found a protective effect of exercise on mortality due to influenza in mice.
