Main text
Among individuals with covid-19 infection, around 2.9% of
patients will develop serious symptoms as respiratory failure
and 19% of them will be hospitalized in intensive care units
(1). In addition, epidemiological studies found that age is a risk
factor of covid-19 hospitalization and mortality (1).
In older adults, hospitalization is recognized to lead to
iatrogenic issues. Indeed, hospitalizations are associated with
functional (-33%) (2) and muscle strength (-6%) declines.
During covid-19, measures such as decreasing drastically
social interactions in patient’s room but also usual care such
as physical rehabilitation activities have been implemented
during hospitalization. However, even if these measures have
been applied to protect the patient, they should be considered
as accelerator risk factors of functional decline during
hospitalization in older adults (3). In order to preserve or limit
the physical and mental health declines (i.e. anxiety; stress), we
implemented an unsupervised validated physical activity (PA)
program (MATCH; (4, 5)) in a short-stay Covid-19 geriatric
unit, during the covid-19 European 1st wave (March to April
2020).
