GLOBAL EPIDEMICCOVID-19, IMMUNITY AND HOME-BASED EXERCISES

Abstract

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a highly contagious and systemic disease that causes disorders of respiratory and physical functions in individuals, as well as psychological functions for reasons such as fear, panic and anxiety that develop due to the disease. Due to the COVID-19 out break, which is spreading at an unavoidable pace, many countries went to partial and general quarantine practices and recommended their citizens to stay at home. It has been noted that restrictions to reduce the risk of transmission may cause individuals to adopt a sedentary life style, where participation in physical activity negatively affects them. Mandatory measures taken in the epidemic process should not mean that physical activity options are limited or that physical activity is completelyeliminated. Physical activity at home is essential for strong health in order to stay healthy in the present unstable environment and streng then the immunity. Being immobile for any reason weakens heart health and increases the risk of coronary artery disease and sudden cardiac death in the long term. In addition to being an exercise training for people who stay at home due to restrictions, home-based physical activities are also important for staying healthy during the epidemic process and reducing the possible negative situations that the epidemic can cause. Home-based exercises are recommended to improve both our physical and cognitive health and to help us get through the process healthier, to maintain and streng then health and to maintain immunity.

KÜRESEL SALGIN COVID-19, BAĞIŞIKLIK VE EV TEMELLİ EGZERSİZLER

Abstract

Koronavirüs hastalığı (COVID-19), bireylerde solunum ve fiziksel fonksiyonlar ile hastalığa bağlı gelişen korku, panik ve endişe gibi nedenlerle psikolojik işlevlerde bozukluğa sebep olan oldukça bulaşıcı ve sistemik bir hastalıktır. Önlenemeyen hızda yayılım gösteren COVID-19 salgını nedeniyle birçok ülke kısmi ve genel karantina uygulamasına giderek, vatandaşlarının evde kalmalarını tavsiye etmiştir. Bulaş riskini azaltmak amacıyla uygulanan kısıtlamaların fiziksel aktiviteye katılımı olumsuz etkilediği, bireylerin sedanter yaşam biçimini benimsemesine neden olabileceği belirtilmektedir. Salgın sürecinde alınan zorunlu tedbirler, fiziksel aktivite seçeneklerinin sınırlı olması veya fiziksel aktivitenin tümüyle ortadan kaldırılması anlamına gelmemelidir. Mevcut istikrarsız bir çevrede sağlıklı kalmak ve bağışıklık sistemini güçlendirmek amacıyla evde fiziksel aktivite güçlü bir sağlık için gereklidir. Herhangi bir nedenle hareketsiz kalmak, kalp sağlığını zayıflatır ve uzun dönemde koroner arter hastalığı ve ani kardiyak ölüm riskini artırır. Ev temelli fiziksel aktivitelerin, kısıtlamalardan dolayı evde kalan kişiler için bir egzersiz eğitimi olmasının yanı sıra, salgın sürecinde sağlıklı kalmak ve salgının ortaya çıkarabileceği muhtemel olumsuz durumların azaltılması için de önem arz etmektedir. Hem fiziksel hem de bilişsel sağlığımızı geliştirmek ve süreci daha sağlıklı atlatabilmemiz, sağlığın korunması ve güçlendirilmesi ile bağışıklığın devamı için ev temelli egzersizler tavsiye edilmektedir.
