Abstract

Prophylaxis of severe forms of COVID-19 infection can be achieved by exercising, especially endurance, which stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis and improves their functionality, these organelles having a key role in the pathogenesis of the disease. Some drugs and supplements that stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis through exercise (6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchromane-2-carboxylic acid (Trolox), ω3 fatty acids, vitamin C, zinc, vitamin B12, folic acid, magnesium, MitoQ) and others that inhibit it (acetylsalicylic acid, ibuprofen, acetaminophen).

Exercise medication COVID-19.
