Abstract
|
|
|
|
Long COVID has emerged as a global medical challenge, characterized by persistent symptoms such as fatigue, dyspnea, and exercise intolerance following a coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) infection. The protracted nature of these symptoms necessitates the development of effective therapeutic approaches to alleviate the burden on individuals’ well-being and the healthcare system at large. While current pharmacological interventions offer limited efficacy, the exploration of alternative strategies becomes imperative. Exercise training has demonstrated promise in ameliorating long COVID symptoms, yet consensus regarding the optimal exercise modalities remains elusive. In light of this, the present review aims to elucidate the impact of exercise on long COVID symptoms and shed light on exercise prescriptions that have exhibited proven efficacy in the treatment and management of this syndrome.
