Patients recovering from COVID-19 often experience impaired lung function, reduced exercise capacity, and a decline in mental health and quality of life.
The study involved a pilot clinical trial where post-COVID patients participated in a pulmonary rehabilitation program, which included 16 sessions of training and exercises, while various health metrics were measured before and after.
Results showed significant improvements in functional capacity, lung function, and respiratory muscle strength in the patients after completing the rehabilitation program, indicating its effectiveness.
