The pathogenicity of Omicron virus decreased, but it spread quickly and was highly contagious. The temperature in winter is low, and there is epidemic risk. Chen Guanjing, a sports health manager at the Health Management Center of Sichuan Academy of Medical Sciences and Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital, said in an interview with People’s Daily that in the face of the high risk of respiratory diseases infection in winter, it is necessary to do a good job in health protection, but also to strengthen exercise and keep fit.

Chen Guanjing introduced that exercise is an effective means to improve immunity. Only by persisting in exercise and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can we build the strongest defense line to protect health.

"Moderate and regular moderate-intensity aerobic exercise can enhance immune function and improve disease resistance, such as walking, dancing and cycling for 30 minutes five times a week. However, excessive strenuous exercise inhibits immunity and makes it easier for the virus to invade the human body. People who don’t have exercise habits at ordinary times can’t take surprise exercise in order to improve their immunity quickly, which is counterproductive. It is recommended to improve physical fitness step by step, enhance physical fitness and activate immunity. " Chen Guanjing said.

The scientific movement is particular. "Don’t exercise on an empty stomach, don’t breathe with your mouth, and don’t exercise in poor physical condition and bad weather." Chen Guanjing suggested that warm-up should be done well before exercise, and it is advisable to have a slight fever. The amount of exercise should not be too large, the exercise time should not be too long, and the overall exercise time should generally not exceed 60 minutes. Special attention should be paid to protecting achilles tendon and knee joint during exercise. Don’t stop immediately after exercise, you should continue to organize your activities for about 10 minutes, and dry your wet sweat in time to avoid catching cold. At the same time, pay attention to replenish water and fresh fruits and vegetables after exercise.

Chen Guanjing also recommended three home exercises to everyone. Let’s exercise together! (Video production: Intern Liu Xindi)
