Clinical Trial Summary

Reduced subjective and objective functional capacity performance are reported after COVID-19 in a large proportion of subjects. The aim of this study is to examine the feasibility and effect of using an e-health tool for guidance and tracking of exercise training in a general population of adults previously infected by COVID-19.

Description:

Both hospitalized and non-hospitalized persons who have undergone extensive multi-disciplinary rehabilitation programs report significantly improved physical function after rehabilitation. Exercise training may be the key intervention to improve fitness and subjective complaints such as fatigue, low physical fitness and dyspnea after COVID-19 infection. However, traditional group-based exercise training or self-training programs at fitness centers have been shut down during the pandemic, and home-based interventions are warranted. To overcome the limitations and costs of a fitness center/personal trainer-based intervention study, more knowledge on the effectiveness and efficacy of using an e-Health system to recruit, train and monitor participants after illness are needed.
