“…An online questionnaire was developed to collect the information validated by researchers from multidisciplinary groups. The questionnaire was distributed through different social networks and emails (e.g., email, WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook) via a nonprobability snowball sampling strategy focused on recruiting people 18 years of age or older living in Spain during the COVID-19 outbreak (Jans et al, 2015). It has been shown that online snowball surveys are very effective for contacting participants from different places, typically producing a higher response rate than that of other strategies (Baltar & Brunet, 2012).…”

The main purpose of the present study was to determine the association of physical activity (PA) patterns prior to COVID-19 confinement with severe respiratory distress consistent with COVID-19 symptoms. Participants were recruited by sending a survey through various social network channels via the snowball method. A voluntary sample of 420 individuals consisting of 199 men and 221 women from the Spanish national territory participated in this study. Some factors, such as being overweight and obese were related to the presence of a greater number of symptoms associated with COVID-19. Interestingly, it was observed that not performing moderate or vigorous PA increased the risk of COVID-19 symptoms. Consequently, when the effect of the practise of PA was evaluated in terms of the number of practises per week and in minutes per practise per week, a protective effect was observed, where moderate PA >150 min per week reported an inverse association with hospitalization for respiratory symptoms
