NEUROSTYMULUJĄCE ZESTAWY ĆWICZEŃ FIZYCZNYCH W PRZECIWDZIAŁANIU LONG COVID

Dear Editor,

The mankind has been fighting the coronavirus infection for almost two years. This is the first time the world is facing a pandemic of such a huge scale. As a result of COVID-19 spread around the world, the researchers have identified a number of concerns in the field of medicine, psychiatry and public health. After the first pandemic wave of COVID-19, the doctors have found out extremely unfavorable changes in the physical and mental health of people, namely the disease has had a negative effect on psychical and emotional state of the population, especially students. The researchers in the field of medicine and health have identified pathological changes after recovery from the coronavirus infection (long COVID). Almost everyone who had a COVID-19 infection experienced a post-COVID-19 syndrome, regardless of the severity of the disease. Nowadays, the specialists cannot determine the true causes of long COVID and completely assess its consequences [1]. Among the post-COVID-19 symptoms, there are poor health (fatigue, insomnia, very low physical activity, musculoskeletal pain, etc.); nervous system and neurocognitive disorders (panic attacks, depression, increased anxiety); respiratory system disorders; cardiovascular disorders (bronchospasms, shortness of breath, chest pains, severe headaches, poor coordination, blood pressure disorders, sharp appetite reduction, asthenia). As a result, there is a failure in the cerebral cortex work affecting memory, attentiveness, planning, motivation [2,3]. Despite all age groups can be affected by long COVID, there has been published little research on the recovery status of the younger generation, namely students. As a result, this condition causes a failure of the adaptive systems of a human body and its immunity deterioration. Unfortunately, medicine has not provided the basic means of getting rid of the COVID-19 consequences yet. Most often, the rehabilitation of the post-COVID-19 syndrome lasts 6-12 months. Most researchers have proposed to fight with long COVID both with drugs and by means of physical culture, exercising and breathing exercises, preferably in the open air [4]. Physical activity, regular physical exercises and sports have been recognized as an effective method for regulating the psychical and emotional state of a person. Exercising in the open air, in the gym and, if necessary, at home, will allow the self-regulation mechanisms to adapt the body to external stimuli...
