About this trial

The objective of the study is to compare the acute cardiorespiratory and perceptual responses to a physical exercise session in those infected by Covid-19 with and without persistent symptoms.

Crossover

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Exercise session

    Behavioral

    Session will included aerobic, resistance and flexibility exercises and will last approximately 45 minutes. The session will begin with aerobic exercises (5 min jumping jacks and 5 min stationary walking). Then, nine strength exercises will be performed for the main muscle groups (3 times of 12 to 15 repetitions, with a 1-minute rest interval) and finally stretching for the main muscle groups

  • Control session

    Behavioral

    Remain seated for 60 min

Treatment groups

40 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: ExerciseExperimental treatment 2 interventions
Group B: ControlOther 2 interventions
