Study Overview
Brief Summary
Chronic fatigue, weakness, dyspnea, headaches, cognitive dysfunction, stress, sadness, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and orthostatic intolerance are among the symptoms of acute Covid-19 in patients, and these symptoms persist for more than 12 weeks after recovery. Extended Covid-19 syndrome, also known as Post-Covid-19 syndrome, is described as
Detailed Description
Therapeutic exercises are an evidence-based method for the maintenance of musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and neurological well-being and the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases. The effects of therapeutic exercises on the human body varied according to the frequency, intensity, duration and type of exercise.
Increasing physiological and psychological recovery after exercise can lead to results such as better performance and reducing the risk of injury. Therefore, various methods are used to facilitate post-exercise recovery.
The best-known and most widely used post-exercise recovery method is active cooling, also known as active rest or cool-down. Active cooling; It is defined as any activity that includes voluntary, low/moderate intensity exercise or movement performed within one hour of exercise. Passive rest, on the other hand, is defined as no or minimal voluntary/intentional exercise movement.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)
Time Frame: a day
In the measurement of pain intensity, it was planned to use a standard, 10 mm VAS with proven reliability. The severity of pain felt by the patient; It is a scale used to mark 0 = no pain and 10 = the most severe pain, thus determining the patient's pain intensity subjectively.
Autonomic nervous system device (Polar H10)
Time Frame: a day
The Polar H10 device is a heart rate sensor that comes with a wearable chest strap and is the gold standard of high sensitivity and accuracy. It can be connected to multiple training devices via Bluetooth and ANT+. The device comes with a soft, adjustable sensor that touches the chest to capture the heart rate in real time. In the study, the autonomic nervous system will be evaluated with the Polar H10 device. By connecting the device to a smart phone via bluetooth, the data will be recorded and the software supported by the device will be used for the analysis of the data.
Lactate Analysis
Time Frame: one day
It was measured with a portable lactate analyzer before and after exercise training, just before the recovery phase. It is an ideal lactate analyzer for using metabolic information to assess endurance, design optimal training programs, avoid overtraining plans and help identify target heart rate zones.
Secondary Outcomes
No secondary outcomes reported
