Exercise is important, and it’s not just us at Oxyburn who say so.

The British Journal of Sports Medicine, a British medical journal specializing in sports, reveals that physical activity is essential for our physical and psychological health; furthermore, it may be one of the key factors in combating COVID-19.

Researchers, led by Robert Sallis of the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in California (United States), analyzed data from January through October 2020 on 48,440 people who contracted the virus, with the aim of determining whether there was a link between lack of exercise and hospitalizations, severity of infection, and deaths.

Those who exercised less than 10 minutes per week were classified as “inactive”; those who exercised less than 149 minutes were classified as “somewhat inactive”; and those who exercised more than 150 minutes per week were classified as “active.”

People who were inactive or minimally active in the two years leading up to the pandemic were more than twice as likely to be hospitalized and had a 73% higher chance of being admitted to the intensive care unit, compared to those who engaged in physical activity for a duration equal to or greater than that recommended in U.S. guidelines.

This is one of several studies conducted over the years that have demonstrated the importance of physical activity and sports for people’s health and quality of life. Let’s take a look at the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, published in 2018 and subsequently adopted by many other countries around the world, which recommend that adults engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity per week.

Taking care of ourselves is a duty we owe to ourselves, and we at Oxyburn know this very well. That’s why, every day, we focus on how to support and enhance your athletic performance by seeking out high-performance, technologically advanced fabrics that ensure maximum comfort and well-being.

Our goal is to make physical exertion easier and more enjoyable by creating high-quality technical underwear that feels like a second skin, thanks to a knitting technique that ensures maximum comfort and complete freedom of movement, guaranteeing precise control and superior performance.

There’s no point in telling us when the real secret is to wear them.
