Abstract

Objective: To describe the importance of home training in maintaining health fitness in the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: Descriptive documentary, 15 scientific articles published in PubMed were reviewed. Conclusion: Home-based training during the COVID-19 pandemic proved to be an effective strategy to mitigate fitness decline in various population groups, although it could not fully compensate for the specific physical demands of some sports and vulnerable populations. Motivation, access to resources and the use of digital technologies were key factors in promoting physical activity and maintaining health during confinement.
