Article Synopsis
- Long-COVID patients showed reduced physical fitness, and a study aimed to assess how pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) impacts their fitness, quality of life (QoL), and CT scan results.
- A 3-month PR program involved endurance and resistance training, with assessments indicating significant improvements in patient-reported outcomes and test results like the six-minute walk test (6MWT) and peak exercise load.
- The study found that PR helped restore lung capacity and airway volume while improving QoL, suggesting that rehabilitation is beneficial for long-COVID patients.
