Coronavirus disease-19(COVID-19)is a disease mainly characterized by respiratory symptoms caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2)infection.Research evidence has indicated that regular exercise plays an important role in preventing COV-ID-19,enhancing therapeutic effectiveness,and avoiding adverse prognosis.This article reviews the effects and mechanisms of exercise before,during and after the prevention and treatment of COVID-19.Exercise plays its role through regulating the ACE2/Ang(1-7)/Mas axis,enhancing immunity and cardiopulmonary function,inhibiting inflammatory factors and oxidative stress,regulating intestinal flora homeostasis,and improving psychological well-being.Additionally,we summarize the exercise prescriptions for different stages of COVID-19 prevention and treatment.By comprehensively summarizing the role of exercise in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19,we also aim to provide references for the prevention and treatment of similar respiratory in-fectious diseases in the post-pandemic era.
