Abstract People with long COVID may suffer from a wide range of ongoing symptoms including fatigue, exertional dyspnea, reduced exercise performance, and others. In particular, impaired performance is condition that can be recovered in many people through an individualized physical training program. However, clinical experience has shown the presence post-exertional malaise (PEM) significant barrier to COVID. Currently, there no guideline or consensus available on how apply this cohort. Therefore, we conducted literature review PubMed library using following search terms: “COVID”, “post-COVID”, “long COVID” “exercise” searching for studies January 2020 2024.

Introduction: Post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS) is a multisystemic disorder marked by impaired physical performance as one lead symptom. Since it has been suggested that endurance training part of medical rehabilitation may be effective in improving capacity PCS, this study aimed to compare different modes aerobic training. Methods: A total 110 PCS patients (49.3 ± 11.8 years; 38% women; time after infection = 260.2 127.5 days) underwent detailed clinical screening including symptom-limited cardiopulmonary exercise testing at admission and 4–6 weeks inpatient rehabilitation. Questionnaires were used assess disease perception. Patients performed controlled isocaloric cycle ergometer (3–5 sessions/week; 18 min) either continuous (CT) 50% maximal workload or interval (IT; load 60%, relief 30%). Outcomes compared coronary artery (CAD; n 96) evaluate overall effectiveness. Results: Training participation was comparable between the groups, with no indication training-specific exercise-induced fatigue.
