The relationship between physical activity and Long Covid: A cross-sectional study (22 April 2022)

Summary

This study in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health aimed to investigate physical activity patterns in people with Long Covid, and the relationship between physical activity and Long Covid symptoms. It also aimed to find out the type of physical activity that people with Long Covid were being recommended, and what they were actually doing.

The authors found that 75% of participants reported Long Covid symptoms worsening after physical activity. They also found that many participants received contradictory advice on whether or not to exercise with Long Covid.
