Study Summary

This trial will explore the effects of exercise training on Long COVID patients to better understand the condition and how to treat it.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who've had COVID-19 and are now experiencing Long COVID symptoms that have lasted more than a month. It's not for those with severe obesity, older than 65, or with exercise intolerance due to non-cardiorespiratory conditions, recent serious blood clots, heart inflammation from COVID, or pre-existing heart/lung diseases.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study aims to see if exercise training can help people with Long COVID by improving their quality of life and physical function. Researchers will also look into how the condition affects heart and lung health as well as body's response to stress.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves exercise, potential side effects may include muscle soreness, fatigue, shortness of breath during activity (especially given the target population), and an increased risk of injury if not properly monitored.
