this infection commonly includes symptoms associated with exacerbated inflammation, lung tissue damage, fever, dry cough, and the subsequent persistent pain or pressure in the chest, shortness of breath and consequently limited mobility. This study aimed to report a case of a positive, asymptomatic COVID₁₉ patient. Male patient, 38 years old, which described exercising regularly, with no previous co morbidities, maintaining a well-balanced diet. During the quarantine (decree Nº. 33519 of 03/19/2020 of March 23, 2020 at Fortaleza-CE), the patient completely interrupts his routine of physical activities, although kept a healthy diet. Nevertheless, it was described an increase of 5 kg between March and June (2020), as a result of the semi sedentary habits as a result of reduced physical activity. The absence of regular exercises was also related with alterations in the triglyceride index (< 150 mg/dL), total cholesterol (< 200 mg/dL), VLDL (< 40 mg/dL) and vitamin D (insufficient - 10 to 30 ng/mL). The patient did not report symptoms associated with SARS-CoV₂ infection, for this reason, no specific treatment strategy was prescribed. It is noteworthy that the patient possibly contracted the SARS-CoV₂ in his own residence, whereas the protective measures were applied. In conclusion, it has been described that COVID₁₉ is a potentially serious disease in individuals with previous comorbidities as diabetes, obesity and hearth diseases. Individuals who maintain a sedentary lifestyle are more likely to the worsening of these comorbidities, what could be a risk factor for COVID₁₉ severity.
