Readers are warned that the document has not been peer-reviewed by expert/patient reviewers or an academic editor, may contain misleading claims, and is likely to undergo changes before final publication, if accepted, or may have been rejected/withdrawn (a note "no longer under consideration" will appear above).
Peer review me: Readers with interest and expertise are encouraged to sign up as peer-reviewer, if the paper is within an open peer-review period (in this case, a "Peer Review Me" button to sign up as reviewer is displayed above).

Warning: This is an author submission that is not peer-reviewed or edited. Preprints - unless they show as "accepted" - should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Aerobic Exercises Recommendations and Specifications for Patients with COVID-19: A Systematic Review
ABSTRACT
Background:
COVID 19 is a self limited disease, in which the strength of immunity play a key role in its management. Aerobic exercises has been documented to enhance the immunity
Objective:
This review was conducted to systematically provide aerobic exercises recommendations and specifications for patients with COVID-19.
Methods:
: a systematic search was conducted through MEDLINE (PubMed), Science Direct, Web of Science, Scopus, Bireme, Cochrane Library, and SciELO databases. The search included the following keywords immune, Aerobic training, human and immune cells.
Results:
Eleven studies met the inclusion and exclusion criteria of this search. The most used exercise prescriptions included: the mode included walking, cycling or running, the duration ranged from 18 to 60 min, the intensity ranged from 55% to 80% of VO2max or 60%-80% of maximum heart rate, and the frequency ranged from 1 to 3 times /week. The main increased immunological biomarkers were leukocytes, linfocytes, neutrophils, monocytes, eosinophils, IL-6, CD16-56, CD16, CD4, CD3, CD8, and CD19.
Conclusions:
This review demonstrated a regular aerobic exercise consists of cycling ergometer or walking, at intensity, 55% - 80% of VO2max or 60%-80% of maximum heart rate, 2-3 sessions/week, 18-60 min/session can enhance immune functions without producing exhaustion.
