ABSTRACT
Introduction: COVID-19 brought with it multiple effects, especially in the field of health. These manifest progressively in those who suffer from it in relation to the symptoms presented, which become visible in the short and long term at a physical and mental level.Objective: To identify the physical and psychological effects caused by COVID-19 in physically active people before the disease, during the period from January to May 2021.
Method: Was used a descriptive-interpretative qualitative methodology. A sample of 5 adults from 27 to 66 years of age from Juchitán, Oaxaca, Mexico was used on the study; who were selected based on the following criteria: having been COVID-19 carriers, level of severity (mild/moderate) and have performed constant physical activity before the infection. The techniques applied for collecting information were: the interview and the questionnaire.
Results: A drastic decrease was evidenced in relation to the components of physical activity (type, frequency, intensity and duration), as well as the prevalence of psychological affectations: stress, depression, anxiety and fear. Regarding the effects at the physical level, weight loss and fatigue (100%) stood out, followed by hair loss (80%) in those studied.
Conclusions: The decrease in physical activity is a consequence of the disease itself, while the psychological effects are the result of the uncertainty generated by the disease.
