The announcement by the Minister of Sport, Ernesto Lucena, to set up a schedule for the practice of exercise excited the athletes and raised doubts about the possibility of contracting the coronavirus more quickly, according to Andrés Felipe Marín, Secretary of Sport of Caldas.
“We did an investigation with doctors and made the decision that our athletes are not going to return to training days. The issue of physical activity will depend on each person, “he said.
For this reason, among the changes that the proposal of the national government will have in the municipalities of Caldas is to cut half an hour to the schedule and it would be from 5:00 a.m. at 7:30 a.m., also walk more than seven meters away from others.
The athletes who belong to the leagues will continue with their telework sessions and Marín’s invitation to the people of Caldenses is to continue exercising at home. If they want to go out, let it be to do low intensity sports, since on the contrary, it is easier to contract the virus.
“We identified that covid-19, with intense exercise, can cause heart conditions, we have no guarantees, not even the country. It does not seem ideal. The decree has not come out and people are totally focused on the streets, “he criticized.
On Wednesday he held a meeting with Carolina Bretón, Director of Development of the Ministry of Sport and asked her questions: “He said that they did not take into account those scientific points of view and today (yesterday) we met again. We are in a good team with them and I hope that with the great team of sports medical sciences that we have we will not incur faults towards health ”.
Manizales Sports Secretary Alejandro Peláez said he is waiting for the presidential decree to make decisions and warned that no sports arena will be opened.
The doubts
The doctor Javier Velásquez, from the Caldas Sports Secretariat, stated in a report that there are suspicions that, if a high-performance athlete acquires the disease, he could suffer adverse effects on the respiratory tract and on aerobic capacity as a long-term consequence .
He added that investigations made in a laboratory showed that a still person could infect another 1.5 meters away, but walking fast, the radius increases to 4.5 meters at a speed of 4.5 kilometers per hour. Running, 10 meters. This, conditioned by external factors such as wind, temperature and humidity.
With beak and ID
Whoever wants to practice sports can only go out as indicated by the peak and ID in their municipality. You should also try to get covered.
