Abstract

In this comparative cross-sectional study, we compare the physical performance among post-COVID and non-COVID subjects. A sample of 64 subjects recovered from COVID-19 and 64 subjects who were not infected with COVID-19 were recruited for the study. Both groups were tested for physical performance by 30-s sit-to-stand test, 6-min walk test, and HUMAC balance system. The findings of the present study reveal that there was a significant difference in physical performance between both the groups. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that physical performance is impaired in the post-COVID subjects as compared to the matched non-COVID subjects. Therefore, physical therapy exercise program/regimen should be a part of recovery from COVID-19.

冠状病毒感染后与非冠状病毒感染后个体体能表现的比较研究

在这项比较横断面研究中，我们比较了covid后和非covid受试者的身体表现。研究招募了64名从COVID-19中康复的受试者和64名未感染COVID-19的受试者。两组均采用30 s坐立测试、6 min步行测试和HUMAC平衡系统进行体能测试。本研究的结果显示，两组之间的身体表现有显著差异。综上所述，本研究表明，与未感染新冠肺炎的受试者相比，新冠肺炎后受试者的身体机能受到了损害。因此，物理治疗运动计划/方案应成为COVID-19恢复的一部分。

期刊介绍： ''Comparative Exercise Physiology'' is the only international peer-reviewed scientific journal specifically dealing with the latest research in exercise physiology across all animal species, including humans. The major objective of the journal is to use this comparative approach to better understand the physiological, nutritional, and biochemical parameters that determine levels of performance and athletic achievement. Core subjects include exercise physiology, biomechanics, gait (including the effect of riders in equestrian sport), nutrition and biochemistry, injury and rehabilitation, psychology and behaviour, and breeding and genetics. This comparative and integrative approach to exercise science ultimately highlights the similarities as well as the differences between humans, horses, dogs, and other athletic or non-athletic species during exercise. The result is a unique forum for new information that serves as a resource for all who want to understand the physiological challenges with exercise.
