Health Technology 4IR during the pandemic of Covid-19 Prof Habib Noorbhai
Guidelines for physical activity and return to training: During and after the COVID-19 lockdown.
Many people believe that as long as they are healthy and asymptomatic, their sports conditioning programme may begin where they had left off before the coronavirus lockdown. This is fallacious thinking, as this long layoff may lead to injuries, overtraining and staleness. It is, rather, a progressive process where the principles of exercise science need to be heeded when they start a training programme after the layoff, as well as preventative measures. Further, it is not only fitness that needs to be considered, but also the skills that may have also regressed with lockdown as a result of COVID-19. Players, coaches and support staff are encouraged to take cognisance from the guidelines and recommendations in this chapter for prevention from COVID19 and return to athletic and fitness activities.
A mathematical model and strategy to guide the reopening of BRICS economies during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The chapter provides a possible strategy in counteracting the spread of the virus and reopening of the economy. This chapter demonstrates the overall risk model of each of the BRICS nations as at 1st October 2020. Following this model and strategy would allow countries to reduce the complacency towards the virus and assist in the reopening of their economy/country.
