Association between Physical Activity Amount and Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Sleep Quality, and Health-related Quality of Life in Patients with Long COVID: A Cross-Sectional Study

CONCLUSIONS: Gender differences were found in CRF among patients with long COVID. Greater self-reported VPA or total PA was associated with better CRF, while greater total PA and MPA were associated with better sleep quality and HRQoL, respectively, in patients with long COVID. Further research is needed to explore these associations in longitudinal studies.PMID:38697594 | DOI:10.1016/j.apmr.2024.04.010
