Low-intensity Aerobic Training Associated With Global Muscle Strengthening in Post-COVID-19

The study involved adults aged 18 to 59 diagnosed with COVID-19 in the past year, experiencing mild or moderate symptoms, dyspnea, and either sedentary or engaging in physical exercise at least twice a week. Excluded were those with certain medical conditions. The participants were divided into two groups: one focused on global muscle strengthening (GF), and the other on low-intensity aerobic training with global muscle strengthening (GAF). The study assessed various parameters, including BMI, quality of life, aerobic capacity, dyspnea, and muscle strength. The sessions varied in duration and intensity. Volunteers were recruited from a clinic in Ubá-MG and randomly assigned to groups. The study aimed to evaluate the impact of the interventions on post-COVID-19 recovery.
