ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: Since 2019, corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a new round of "epidemic," which has brought about a major crisis to the world from national development, to people's life safety and mental health. Faced with the constant variation of viruses, from COVID-19 to Delta to Omicron. How to curb its further deterioration and enhance human defense against viruses is the focus of scientific researchers. From previous studies, we found that in addition to basic medical treatment, swimming with a certain amount of load and intensity can promote the ventilator of the human body, thereby playing an auxiliary and preventive role in the treatment of COVID-19 and its variant strains. METHODS: This study searched China knowledge network, Web of science, Google scholar, PubMed database to search for the relevant research on swimming prevention and treatment for COVID-19, and the deadline for searching was December 2021. Two researchers independently screened and extracted the literature, and evaluated the bias risk of the included studies. The methodological quality of the included literature was evaluated by the Chochrane bias risk assessment tool. RESULT: This study will provide new evidence for the prevention and recovery of COVID-19 and its variant strains by swimming. CONCLUSION: To provide a method to help the prevention and restoration of COVID-19 and its variant strains by swimming. INPLASY REGISTRATION NUMBER: INPLASY2021120075.
