Tailored exercise interventions to improve the quality of life in individuals with post-COVID-19 condition: The impact on patient's functionality and their immune and plasma proteome parameters
EF 2023-24
Résumé
At the tail-end of the COVID-19 pandemic, a significant number of infected-recovered
individuals have developed long COVID, a condition which affects their well-being and their ability to carry out tasks that they were easily doing before the pandemic. There are some indications in the published literature that low to moderate exercise regimen tailored to the capacity of the individual, can help improve their condition. In this study we will characterize the exercise program and determine how exercise benefits a significant proportion of those affected with long COVID.
We will study the effect of exercise in infected individuals with long COVID and
follow them over one year to determine the long-term benefits of exercise. We will also analyze their immune responses, oxidative stress responses and identify biomarkers in the blood that are modulated by the exercise.
