Summary

This trial is testing if exercise can help improve the long term effects of COVID-19, like lung and heart function.

Who is the study for?

What is being tested?
The study aims to assess the long-term effects of COVID-19 on physical health and whether exercise training can improve lung and heart function, fitness levels, and reduce lingering symptoms in those recovering from the virus.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed for exercise training, typical risks may include muscle soreness, fatigue, shortness of breath during activity, or exacerbation of underlying conditions if present.
