Abstract

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a complex disease that affects multiple body systems, including the respiratory, cardiovascular, neurological, and muscular systems. It is estimated that approximately half of the patients after the treatment for COVID-19 experience persistent symptoms that lead to a decreased physical capacity. Scientific recommendations suggest that cardiovascular and respiratory rehabilitation programs should be implemented in patients who have completed treatment for COVID-19. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of comprehensive rehabilitation on the exercise capacity of patients after COVID-19 treatment. The study included 146 patients after the treatment for COVID-19 who were eligible for therapeutic rehabilitation. The exercise capacity was assessed using the 6-minute walk test (6MWT). The results showed that patients who underwent rehabilitation had an average increase of 23.83% in their 6MWT score compared to the baseline. A comprehensive rehabilitation program including breathing exercises, aerobic training, and strength and endurance exercises is an effective intervention that can improve the physical capacity of patients after COVID-19 treatment.

综合康复对新冠肺炎患者运动能力的影响

2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)是一种复杂的疾病，影响多个身体系统，包括呼吸系统、心血管系统、神经系统和肌肉系统。据估计，在接受COVID-19治疗后，约有一半的患者会出现持续症状，导致身体能力下降。科学建议建议，应在完成COVID-19治疗的患者中实施心血管和呼吸康复计划。因此，本研究的目的是评估综合康复对COVID-19治疗后患者运动能力的影响。该研究包括146名COVID-19治疗后符合治疗性康复条件的患者。采用6分钟步行测试(6MWT)评估运动能力。结果显示，接受康复治疗的患者6MWT评分较基线平均提高23.83%。包括呼吸练习、有氧训练、力量和耐力训练在内的综合康复计划是一种有效的干预措施，可以改善COVID-19治疗后患者的身体能力。
