Article Synopsis
- Reduced heart rate variability (HRV) and increased fatigue were observed in COVID-19 survivors compared to matched controls, with significant differences in several HRV metrics indicating impaired autonomic function.
- Moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and daily step count were significantly associated with HRV improvements in these survivors, suggesting that higher activity levels may benefit heart health post-infection.
- Fatigue in COVID-19 survivors correlated with lower levels of MVPA and fewer steps, indicating a complex relationship where physical activity could mediate the effects of HRV on fatigue levels.
Introduction: The cumulative number of COVID-19 cases has surpassed 579 million globally. Symptoms during and after COVID-19 infection vary from mild cold symptoms to severe multisystem illness. Given the wide range of symptom presentations and complications post-COVID-19, the purpose of this study was to describe the lived experience of American adults surviving COVID-19.

Purpose: To identify the accuracy of Body Mass Index (BMI) to categorize body weight in a sample of children with spina bifida and Down syndrome as compared to typically developing peers.
Methods: A secondary analysis of 32 children with spina bifida, Down syndrome or no chronic illness. A calculated BMI was plotted on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention age- and sex-specific BMI growth charts to determine each child's weight status.
