Purpose: This brief report aimed to characterize inter-individual training responses following a single session of high-intense whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) using markers of muscle damage over a period of 72 h.
Methods: Twelve healthy individuals (5 men, 7 women; 32.0 ± 7 years) participated in a single 20-minute high-intensity WB-EMS training session.
Background & Aims: Post-COVID-19 Syndrome (PCS) is characterized by symptoms including fatigue, reduced physical performance, dyspnea, cognitive impairment, and psychological distress. The mechanisms underlying the onset and severity of PCS point to mitochondrial dysfunction as significant contributor. This study examined fat oxidation as a function of mitochondrial capacity during exercise.

- Post-COVID-19 Syndrome (PCS) includes various symptoms like fatigue, cognitive issues, and psychological distress, and exercise-based rehabilitation has been shown to be effective for patients seeking recovery.
- A study of 145 PCS patients, with gender differences taken into account, found that women had a higher baseline exercise capacity but greater improvement after rehabilitation, while men had different pulmonary function metrics.
- Overall, rehabilitation led to significant improvements in cardiopulmonary fitness and quality of life for both genders, with suggestions for more focused respiratory training for women suffering from PCS.
Article Synopsis
- Cardiac rehabilitation improves symptoms and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD), but maintaining a healthy lifestyle afterward is tough; RehaPlus+ is an innovative eHealth program designed to encourage consistent physical activity (PA) post-rehabilitation using behavioral change principles.
- This study compares the effectiveness of the RehaPlus+ program, which includes personalized motivation digital messages for 6 months, against traditional outpatient care that includes in-person training sessions after rehabilitation.
- Results showed that RehaPlus+ led to similar or improved outcomes in physical activity levels, psychological well-being, and quality of life among CAD patients compared to usual care, supporting the potential of eHealth solutions in post-rehabilitation support.
