简要总结
INTRODUCTION: As this is a new disease, the short- and long-term consequences for patients with COVID-19 are still unclear. The use of sedatives, as well as prolonged rest, can lead to musculoskeletal damage, including decreased muscle strength and physical function. Thus, rehabilitation after this disease is a key component in continuing patient care. OBJECTIVE: To verify the effects of face-to-face cardiac rehabilitation and telerehabilitation on tolerance to the maximum and submaximal exercise, lung function, fatigue intensity and quality of life of COVID-19 survivors. METHODS: This is a longitudinal, intervention study. Primary outcomes will be maximum and submaximal functional capacity, intensity and impact of fatigue, while secondary outcomes will be lung function and quality of life. EXPECTED RESULTS: This work will bring important information to the scientific community and health professionals, about the best forms of intervention and its repercussions on the surviving individuals of COVID-19.

结局指标
主要结局
Submaximal functional capacity
时间窗: 12 weeks
Evaluated by the six-minute walk test
Intensity and impact of fatigue
时间窗: 12 weeks
Evaluated by the Fatigue pictogram questionnaire, an ordinal scale composed of two questions graded in 5 captioned illustrations that assess the intensity (not at all tired, a little tired, moderately tired, very tired and extremely tired) and the impact of fatigue (I manage to do everything I normally do I do, I can do almost everything I usually do, I can do some of the things I usually do, I just do what I have to do and I can do very little).
Maximum functional capacity
时间窗: 12 weeks
Evaluated by the cardiopulmonary exercise test by measuring the maximum oxygen consumption
次要结局
- Quality of life assessment: Short Form-36 questionnaire(12 weeks)
- Spirometry(12 weeks)
