Overview

Analysis compares exercise capacity post-COVID-19 in 132 adults, suggesting age and disease severity impact recovery.

Key Points

  • Exercise capacity was decreased in 23.1% of participants 86 days after COVID-19 diagnosis.
  • Younger age, male sex, and COVID-19 severity were significantly associated with lower VO2max.
  • Pulmonary function tests showed lower vital capacity and earlier anaerobic threshold in those with decreased exercise capacity.
  • Factors like respiratory dysfunctions and physical inactivity contributed to lower exercise capacity among individuals.
