Protracted return to sport (RTS) following COVID-19 is common due to long-term cardiopulmonary symptoms and persistent fatigue. In athletes, low exercise tolerance may result in emotional distress. The aim of this study is to assess the symptom severity, the management thereof and the impact on quality of life (QOL) as endurance athletes return to their preillness level of sports participation.
