Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Distance walked in the 6-min walk test (6 MWT)	The 6-min walk test (6 MWT) measures the distance that a patient can quickly walk on a flat, hard surface in a period of 6 minutes (the 6MWD). (ATS Statement: Guidelines for the Six-Minute Walk Test, Am J Respir Crit Care Med, 2002)	8 weeks
Primary	Post-Covid Functional Scale (PCFS)	This scale measures the functional state and Independence of patients after COVID-19 infection. The scale includes two items scored from 0-4 and 0-5. A high value indicates more restrictions in function and independence during daily life.	8 weeks
Secondary	Number of repetitions performed in a 1-min Sit-to-Stand (STS) test	All 1-min STS tests are performed according to a standardized protocol by trained study staff. A standard chair is used with a flat seat and no armrests, stabilized against a wall. Patients are asked to sit with their legs hip-width apart and flexed to 90°, with their hands stationary on the hips.	8 weeks
