Psychosomatic, Physical Activity or Both for Post-covid19 Syndrom

Six online consultations will take place on the basis of the sports medicine assessment every two weeks, resulting in 300 min in 3 months. For the home-based implementation, participants receive wearables with which the activity and training data are collected. In conjunction with feedback, the goal is to ensure that the interventions lead to improvements in self-control, reduced resilience, and fatigue without overwhelming participants with volume or intensity. Due to the expected large differences in personal performance, determined in the initial assessment, the exercise plan is individually designed and regularly adjusted. This includes control of everyday activity as well as moderate endurance and strengthening exercises totalling up to 30min daily. The individual training intensity is below the aerobic lactate threshold so that overload is avoided. The average training heart rate is planned to be in the range between 50 and 70% of the maximum heart rate.

Six online consultations will take place based on the psychosocial assessment and the initial psychosomatic interview every two weeks, resulting in 300 min in 3 months. A structured, telemedicine-supported, modularized, brief psychosomatic intervention is planned with a focus on psychoeducational elements, promotion of self-management, improvement of illness acceptance, modification of self-monitoring, and learning to cope with altered performance levels. The six modularized telemedical sessions taking into account the specific deficits identified in the psychosomatic evaluation. Within the sessions, starting points are identified with the patients, which the patients can work on independently between the sessions.
