Abstract

This dataset aimed to explore associations between pre-SARS-CoV-2 infection exercise and sports-related physical activity (PA) levels and disease severity, along with treatments administered following the most recent SARS-CoV-2 infection. A comprehensive analysis investigated the relationships between PA categories (“Inactive”, “Low PA”, “Moderate PA”, “High PA”), disease severity (“Sporadic”, “Episodic”, “Recurrent”, “Frequent”, “Persistent”), and treatments post-SARS-CoV-2 infection (“No treatment”, “Home remedies”, “Prescribed medication”, “Hospital admission”, “Intensive care unit admission”) within a sample population (n = 5829) from the Hellenic territory. Utilizing the Active-Q questionnaire, data were collected from February to March 2023, capturing PA habits, participant characteristics, medical history, vaccination status, and illness experiences. Findings revealed an independent relationship between preinfection PA levels and disease severity (χ 2 = 9.097, df = 12, p = 0.695). Additionally, a statistical dependency emerged between PA levels and illness treatment categories (χ 2 = 39.362, df = 12, p < 0.001), particularly linking inactive PA with home remedies treatment. These results highlight the potential influence of preinfection PA on disease severity and treatment choices following SARS-CoV-2 infection. The dataset offers valuable insights into the interplay between PA, disease outcomes, and treatment decisions, aiding future research in shaping targeted interventions and public health strategies related to COVID-19 management.
