Data of Pre-SARS-CoV-2 Infection Sports-Related Physical Activity Levels, Disease Severity, and Treatment Outcomes

The primary aim was to elucidate the potential associations between exercise and sports-related physical activity (PA) levels prior to the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and two key aspects: (i) the severity of the disease and (ii) the treatments administered following the most recent SARS-CoV-2 infection. Data collection spanned from February to March 2023 (a two-month period), involving the utilization of the Active-Q (an online, interactive questionnaire) to automatically assess weekly habitual sports-related PA among adults prior to their last SARS-CoV-2 infection. The questionnaire also captured participant characteristics, such as ethnicity, region of residence, educational level, number of underlying medical conditions that might be associated with severe COVID-19 illnesses, pre-illness vaccination history, occurrences of SARS-CoV-2 re-infections, disease severity, and illness treatment following their most recent SARS-CoV-2 infection. [The data contains: Body mass (kg) and height (cm) values transformed to body mass index (kg·m−2); age (yr) are in raw format, sports-related physical activity level, sex at birth, ethnicity, region of residence, education level, SARS-CoV-2 re-infections, pre-illness vaccination profiles/types, number of underlying medical conditions that could be related to severe illness with COVID-19, disease severity, and illness treatment classification (nominal and categorical formats).] The dataset reveals key insights into the relationships between pre-SARS-CoV-2 infection PA levels and disease severity as well as treatment outcomes among respondents: (i) the independence of sports-related PA level prior to SARS-CoV-2 infection and disease severity categories (x2 = 9.097, df = 12, p = 0.695); and (ii) the dependency of sports-related PA level prior to SARS-CoV-2 infection and illness treatment categories (x2 = 39.362, df = 12, p < 0.001), although post hoc comparisons indicated statistical dependency only between inactive PA level and home remedies treatment. These findings offer researchers a detailed exploration of the associations between pre-infection physical activity levels and key COVID-19 outcomes, including disease severity and treatment choices. Researchers and health professionals worldwide can draw on these findings to inform their own regional strategies and practices. Moreover, these findings highlight the importance of tailoring healthcare interventions to different patient profiles.

本研究的核心目标为阐明严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2, SARS-CoV-2）感染前的运动与体育相关身体活动（physical activity, PA）水平，与两大关键维度间的潜在关联：（i）疾病严重程度；（ii）末次SARS-CoV-2感染后的治疗方案。数据采集周期为2023年2月至3月，共计两个月，采用Active-Q（一款在线交互式问卷）自动评估成年受访者末次新冠病毒感染前的每周习惯性体育相关身体活动水平。该问卷同时采集了受访者的多项特征信息，包括种族、居住地区、受教育程度、可能与重症新冠相关的基础疾病数量、感染前疫苗接种史、新冠再感染情况、疾病严重程度以及末次新冠感染后的治疗方案。[本数据集包含：经转换为体重指数（kg·m⁻²）的体重（kg）与身高（cm）数据；年龄（岁）为原始数值；体育相关身体活动水平、出生性别、种族、居住地区、受教育程度、新冠再感染情况、感染前疫苗接种概况/类型、可能与重症新冠相关的基础疾病数量、疾病严重程度以及疾病治疗分类（名义型与分类型数据格式）。]本数据集揭示了新冠感染前身体活动水平与受访者新冠疾病严重程度及治疗结局之间的关键关联：（i）新冠感染前的体育相关身体活动水平与疾病严重程度分类无统计学关联（χ²=9.097，自由度df=12，P=0.695）；（ii）新冠感染前的体育相关身体活动水平与疾病治疗分类存在统计学关联（χ²=39.362，df=12，P<0.001），但事后多重比较结果显示，仅不活动身体活动水平与家庭疗法治疗间存在统计学相关性。上述研究成果可为研究者提供新冠感染前身体活动水平与新冠核心结局（含疾病严重程度与治疗选择）间关联的精细化探索方向。全球范围内的研究者与医疗专业人员可借鉴本研究成果，为自身所在地区的医疗策略与临床实践提供参考。此外，本研究成果亦凸显了针对不同患者特征制定个性化医疗干预措施的重要性。
