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. Data 46 trials were included. Exercise regimes very heterogeneous none these reported management PEM context Based feedback additional survey was answered by 14 international experts field COVID, combined authors´ own extensive practical experience, best practice proposal recommendations been developed. This differentiates procedures according no, mild/moderate severe These guide allied healthcare professionals worldwide initiating adjusting programs stratified severity PEM.

Purpose: Individuals infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes disease 2019 (COVID-19), can experience ongoing, often debilitating symptoms after infection known as Long COVID (LC). LC has profound medical, social, and economic consequences worldwide. Prevalence estimates vary, but it is estimated 10% to 35% of people SARS-CoV-2 develop LC. The World Health Organization endorses physiotherapy a vital component in symptom management stabilization. Cardiorespiratory physiotherapists are involved patients phenotypes such post-exertional malaise/post-exertional exacerbation, post-COVID interstitial lung disease, dysautonomia, breathing pattern disorders, chronic cough. However, specific guidance lacking regarding assessment safe intervention strategies. In this review, we describe relevant pathophysiology condition, report common clinical phenotypes, propose framework for

Pulmonary rehabilitation is a multidisciplinary approach to improving individuals' quality of life and functional capacity with chronic respiratory diseases. Functional breathing exercises are essential pulmonary programs, focusing on coordinating postural mechanisms optimize gas exchange, reduce dyspnea, improve exercise tolerance. This paper discusses the importance in outlines fundamental principles techniques used their implementation.

This study aimed to examine the appropriate body position and anatomical site for DUS through comparisons with maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP). Thirty healthy adults were included in study. MIP was measured using a spirometer. performed both right left intercostal spaces sitting supine positions. The diaphragm thickness at functional residual volume (TDFRC) total lung capacity (TDTLC) measured, fractional change (TF) calculated under each condition. To assess interobserver reproducibility, by an experienced examiner novice examiner. Among parameters, TDFRC space showed strongest correlation (r = 0.68, p < 0.001). correlations of TDTLC tended be inferior those MIP, TF parameters did not correlate significantly MIP. measurements demonstrated greater reproducibility than position, better space. When evaluating respiratory muscle function during inspiration DUS, zone apposition found appropriate. considered adequate clinical use because influence experience small.
