Patterns of physical activity and SARS-CoV-2 severe pneumonia: A case-control study.

Background: Regular physical activity is associated with a low risk of severe community-acquired infections. However, the hypothesis that a physical inactivity pattern is associated with a higher risk for severe COVID-19 has not been completely proven, especially with severe pneumonia.

Objective: The goal of this study was to confirm the link between physical activity patterns and severe SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia.
