What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the impact of a physical exercise program delivered through a mobile application on functional and cardiovascular parameters in adults with post-COVID-19 syndrome. This clinical trial includes 60 individuals who will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group using the app-based training or a control group following physical activity guidelines. The study is sponsored by the University of Nove de Julho and focuses on improving physical function after COVID-19 infection. Participants in the experimental group will perform three exercise sessions per week for 12 weeks using the Recovery App, which offers flexibility, strength, and aerobic training with progressive intensity. The control group will receive a booklet with exercise instructions aligned with Brazilian Physical Activity Recommendations, encouraging similar frequency and duration of physical activity. Both groups aim to complete sessions lasting up to 40 minutes. Throughout the 12-week study, participants will undergo various assessments including the 6-minute walk test, Glittre test, sit and stand test, and Post-COVID Functional Scale to measure changes in physical function. Additional evaluations include fatigue, dyspnea, quality of life, anxiety, depression, pain, blood pressure, cardiac function, and spirometry. Researchers will monitor exercise adherence and physical activity barriers to understand the effects of the interventions.
