Exercise attenuates the neuropsychiatric and endocrine sequelae of COVID-19 precipitated by chronic psychological stress, immune system dysregulation, and hyperinflammation. Precipitated by chronic psychological stress, immune system dysregulation, and a hyperinflammatory state, the sequelae of postacute COVID-19 (long COVID) include depression and new-onset diabetes. We hypothesize that exercise counters the neuropsychiatric and endocrine sequelae of long COVID by inducing the release of circulating factors that mediate the anti-inflammatory response, support brain homeostasis, and increase insulin sensitivity.
