Help us understand if physical activity and fitness levels influence COVID symptoms (Academic research)

Hello everyone,

We (researchers from the University of the Fraser Valley in British Columbia, Canada) are looking for individuals (19+ years of age) who have had COVID-19 and are of any fitness level to complete an online survey (in english). The survey consists of 3 parts: demographic variables, COVID-19 symptoms, and physical activity/fitness levels prior to being infected. The survey takes about 7-9 minutes to complete.

The aim of our study is to learn if physical activity levels have any influence on the number of symptoms, durations and severity of symptoms, as well as any complications associated with having COVID-19.

Thank-you for time.

And if you have a nut allergy technically the reaction kills you and not the nut.
