A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on Aerobic Fitness Dynamics in Post-COVID-19 Athletes: Implications in the Return-to-Play Performance

Sports, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 13(2), P. 40 - 40

Published: Feb. 5, 2025

Maximal oxygen uptake (V.O2max) assesses athletic performance; however, its values are inconsistent in post-COVID-19 athletes. This study aimed to analyze the dynamics of V.O2max Observational studies were identified by screening PubMed database published up 17 July 2023. The initial electronic search found 320 studies. Of these, 26 employing cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) assess aerobic fitness selected. 2625 pooled athletes, 1464 infected and considered as group, either asymptomatic or symptomatic, while remaining 1161, who uninfected had results prior infection, defined infection-free group. Age differently distributed between athletes those without infection (p = 0.03 both). Persistent symptoms 8 mL/Kg/min lower than 0.04). In addition, post-infected underwent CPET after 12 weeks showed a significant reduction 2.9 according increase body mass index (BMI). analysis that was reduced post-COVID-19. negatively correlated with BMI at weeks, suggesting persist beyond affecting return-to-play.
