Effects of Diagrammatic Breathing With and Without Resistance in Post Covid Patients on ADLs

"Wall press-up:~Stand arm's length from the wall. Place your hands flat against the wall at chest level, with your fingers pointing upwards. With your back straight, slowly bend your arms, keeping your elbows by your side.~Dumbbell biceps curls:~Hold a pair of light weights and stand with your feet hip-width. Keeping your arms by your side, slowly bend them until the weight in your hand reaches your shoulder. Slowly lower again.~Back squats:~Place barbell with weights onto the squat rack. Bring your body under the bar. Rest barbell over your traps and shoulders. Make sure hands are even on each side of the bar. Keep your feet in the same position as they would be for an air squat. Brace your midline and keep your chest up.~Leg press:~Position feet about shoulder width apart. Try to push through your heels, keeping the knees lined up over the toes. Extend the legs until nearly straight, avoiding locking the knees."

"Diaphragmatic Breathing:~1. Lie on your back on a flat surface (or in bed) with your knees bent. You can use a pillow under your head and your knees for support if that's more comfortable.~2. Place one hand on your upper chest and the other on your belly, just below your rib cage.~3. Breathe in slowly through your nose, letting the air in deeply, towards your lower belly. The hand on your chest should remain still, while the one on your belly should rise.~4. Tighten your abdominal muscles and let them fall inward as you exhale through pursed lips. The hand on your belly should move down to its original position. You can also practice this sitting in a chair, with your knees bent and your shoulders, head, and neck relaxed"
