1-Does exercise training given in post-COVID-19 syndrome have an effect on pulmonary function, symptoms, functional capacity, muscle strength and quality of life?
25 severe post-COVID patients (35 M) were in exercise group (EG) (age=52.9�11 years, 18M), and 25 (age=53.6�11.9 years, 17M) were in the control group (CG). EG received aerobic exercise (30-min walking) and upper and lower extremity strength training for 12 weeks for 3 days/week. CG continued only routine follow-up.
