Retrospective 71 hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Iran, showing faster recovery with a history of moderate to high physical exercise.Exercise was assessed during the last seven days when patients may already have had COVID-19 symptoms. Patients with higher severity may have been less likely to exercise, leading to confounding by indication.
