Self-management of post COVID-19 respiratory outcomes
Intervention: using the participants' initial assessment, personal characteristics, main complaints/needs and goals, the therapist will adjust the exercise plan and personalize the recommendations (e.g. maximum heart rate) as well as instruct the patients about safety precautions (how to pace themselves, when to seek professional or emergency care). Participants will be encouraged to wear the smart shirt as much as they want during the 6 weeks (29), but at a minimum of 1-hour a day (M-F) including while performing the recommended exercises (30-45 min/3 times a week). They should self-monitor their biometric values trying to reach/stay within the target values while wearing the shirt using Hexoskin app installed on an iPad provided by the research team or on the participants' personal device if preferred.
