Treatment Groups
This trial involves 2 different treatments. Exercise Prescription is the primary treatment being studied. Participants will all receive the same treatment. Some patients will receive a placebo treatment. The treatments being tested are not being studied for commercial purposes.
Eligibility
This trial is for patients born any sex aged 18 and older. There are 3 eligibility criteria to participate in this trial as listed below.
Approximate Timelines
Measurement Requirements
This trial is evaluating whether Exercise Prescription will improve 3 primary outcomes and 43 secondary outcomes in patients with COVID-19. Measurement will happen over the course of At third assessment, during week 20..

What causes covid-19?
There are three key drivers of spread of the virus: the host genetic factors (for example, genetic variants in the MHC class II and other genes; the immune response; and the host-pathogen relationship), as well as the non-host-environment factors (for example, changes in behavior and immunity). The non-host-environment factors (for example, the change in the interaction of the virus with the human metaproteome of the host cells) could influence viral fitness, allowing a temporary or permanent amplification of the virus in the host, and, ultimately, the spread of the virus.
How many people get covid-19 a year in the United States?
There are an estimated 100,000 new cases of coronavirus illness in the United States per year. A significant portion of patients presenting with fever to the emergency department are testing positive for coronavirus.
Can covid-19 be cured?
There is no evidence of a short-term cure of the illness, even as the current clinical course worsens. Future research is required to explore the long-term impact of this virus, beyond its own symptomatology. If the current course of the disease continues, it could become untreatable from an integrated perspective with any potential cure, and could become a public health crisis because the health-care system will be overwhelmed.
What are the signs of covid-19?
Most patients with fever and myalgia had mild symptoms, only 1 of 12 was confirmed. The cases are similar to the common flu. It can cause short term myalgia, a high fever and loss of appetite, but no fatalities or disease progression observed yet. Therefore, the effect of the virus is thought to be low. There is no evidence that the virus can cause more harm than the common flu.\n
What are common treatments for covid-19?
Treatment for covid-19 is largely centered on symptoms and symptoms-based measures. For more severely ill persons or those with underlying comorbidities, there is a need for novel approaches, including interventions that prevent the progression to chronic phase and possibly a combination with medications.
What is covid-19?
We emphasize the need for public education about the epidemiology of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) due to the rapid spread of misinformation on the internet and social media.
What is the primary cause of covid-19?
The majority of cases of SARS and MERS seemed to be related to travel (60.7% and 55.5%, respectively), which is the same as previously reported in the current epidemic of SARS-CoV-2 (80.5% for both) and the primary cause of SARS and MERS. A lower percentage of cases of SARS were thought to be related to contact tracing (9.1% and 3.5%, respectively) in Hong Kong. These data do not exclude the possible role of the virus as a second intermediary host in humans, or that it can be transmitted through direct or indirect contact.
What are the common side effects of exercise prescription?
Compared to usual care and pharmacological, exercise prescription alone leads to improvements in several outcome variables, but there are limited data on whether exercise prescription alone lead to a reduction in the exacerbation rate or disease burden.
What is the average age someone gets covid-19?
There is variation and correlation between the age at onset of symptoms in various geographic areas. This could be due to an outbreak in certain areas or may represent differences in the viral strains in the populations. The average age for onset of symptoms among patients in this outbreak in Zhejiang Province is 44.2 years. Further epidemiological evaluation and clinical work is urgently needed to improve disease control on the virus and avoid unnecessary diagnosis and treatment.
Has exercise prescription proven to be more effective than a placebo?
Exercise prescription of a moderate or high intensity with at least two types of exercise per week in patients with severe COPD reduces the decline in FEV1 during 12 months of treatment by 50–75% and it can delay the decline in 6 min. The decline in FEV1 was more pronounced in patients with low exercise tolerance and in patients who did not increase exercise intensity.
What is the latest research for covid-19?
Covid-19 continues to be an interesting disease that we should be researching and researching. We are working with others all over the world who have a similar disease called SARS-CoV-2 and we are working on understanding it. Covid-19 is still a major health crisis we are facing globally, and we are still working to understand the disease.
Who should consider clinical trials for covid-19?
The high prevalence of underlying medical conditions for elderly patients, including cardiovascular comorbidities, may make patients at higher risk for clinical trials. Conversely, the high prevalence of comorbidities may lower CVR scores and reduce the risk of patients developing infectious complications should they participate in clinical trials.
