ABSTRACT
Ramadan is a holy month in Islamic calendar where fasting is observed for 29-30 days. Fasting causes a lot of changes in the body’s physical activity as food and water intake timings are altered. Physical activity is a key to fight the novel corona virus. Timing of the exercises should be adjusted in a manner that does not lead to severe starvation or dehydration. Fasting in the month of Ramadan during the pandemic is more of a personalised decision.
Key words: Fasting, Ramadan, fitness, Conid-19 fitness.
