Abstract

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, due to its high infectivity and pathogenicity, spread across the planet in just over three months, with issues related to its clinical course and still inconclusive risk factors. The pandemic, therefore, surprised all health professionals, leaving a question: What is the impact of regular physical exercise on the effects of vaccination and disease control? The study in question is a theoretical essay on health, addressing definitions and central characteristics of intersectoral actions for health through qualitative data using the MEDLINE databases via the PubMed portal, Embase, Cochrane Library and Scopus. Throughout the article, scientific evidence is presented that the regular practice of physical exercises can normalise the inflammatory profile of the practitioner and improve the body's immune response. The close relationship between inflammatory and immune responses and the chronic effect that physical exercise exerts on the body allows it to be considered a therapy that strengthens the body's defence not only against COVID-19 but for all infections of the same nature, including the adaptive effect it has on the respiratory system. It is concluded, according to the evidence presented here, that the regular and guided practice of physical exercises, respecting the principles of sports training, acts significantly as an auxiliary tool in the strengthening and preparation of the immune system against COVID-19, which may potentiate the effects of their vaccines, as evidenced with other types of vaccines, such as H1N1.
