研究组 & 干预措施
moderate intensity aerobic training
The exercises were conducted at a heart rate of 50-70% of maximum heart rate for 30 minutes. Exercises were included strengthening muscles groups (shoulder flexors, extensors, abductor's muscles, hip flexors, extensor muscles, knee flexors, extensor muscles, abdominal muscles, and back muscles).
干预措施: aerobic exercise (Other)
low intensity aerobic training
Exercises were performed at 40-50% of the maximum heart rate Starting by 15 minutes of Warm-up time included static stretching of upper and lower body muscles.
After that, participants performed 30 minutes of low-intensity aerobic training exercises, which included 20 minutes on the treadmill, followed by 10 minutes of cooling down.
A set of 5-10 exercises was performed by each muscle group, three sets per exercise were performed, and 10-15 repetitions per series were performed 4 days per week

结局指标
主要结局
Post-Covid Functional Scale (PCFS)
时间窗: 8 weeks
This scale measures the functional state and Independence of patients after COVID-19 infection. The scale includes two items scored from 0-4 and 0-5. A high value indicates more restrictions in function and independence during daily life.
Distance walked in the 6-min walk test (6 MWT)
时间窗: 8 weeks
The 6-min walk test (6 MWT) measures the distance that a patient can quickly walk on a flat, hard surface in a period of 6 minutes (the 6MWD). (ATS Statement: Guidelines for the Six-Minute Walk Test, Am J Respir Crit Care Med, 2002)
次要结局
- Quality of life SF-36(8 weeks)
- Number of repetitions performed in a 1-min Sit-to-Stand (STS) test(8 weeks)
- 2. Anxiety and Depression evaluated by the HAMLITON ScAnxiety and Depressionale (HADS)(8 weeks)
