DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION OF A MULTICOMPONENT PHYSICAL EXERCISE PROGRAM IN A COVID-19 POSITIVE INDIVIDUAL WITH MILD SYMPTOMATOLOGY: CLINICAL CASE DESCRIPTION

Abstract

Introduction: from January to November 2020, 1,510,023 cases of Covid-19 have been reported, the as-ymptomatic or mild symptomatic being a large part of the total. The execution of prescribed physical exercise shows efficacy in certain respiratory diseases thanks to its influence on elements related to the immune system,describing benefits in hospitalization and symptoms during the disease. Objective: the case exposes the deve-lopment of an intervention through a multicomponent physical exercise program in a positive individual for Covid-19 with mild symptoms. Case presentation: 23-year-old male, positive for Sars-Cov-2 infection with mild symptoms. Repost and during the intervention evaluation of clinical variables (heart rate, oxygen saturation, temperature and subjective perception of physical effort exerted) and those related to Sars-Cov-2 (active infection test and an-tibody seroprevalence test). Intervention through multicomponent physical activity of moderate intensity of approximately 30 minutes of duration. Results: after the intervention, stability was obtained in clinical variables, a positive result in an active infection test at 3 and 10 days and a positive result in anti-Sars-Cov-2 antibodies at 15 days after the onset of symptoms. Conclusion: the multicomponent physical activity program can be developed in a Covid-19 positive patient without worsening of symptoms, being able to promote an earlier appearance of anti-Sars-Cov-2 antibodies.
