About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Covid19

Eligibility Criteria

21 Years - 75 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Aged 21 to 75 years.
  • History of RT-PCR proven SARS-CoV-2 infection.
  • Deemed 'recovered' from SARS-CoV-2 infection.
  • Not clinically obese (BMI ≥ 36) and/or suffer from musculoskeletal or other conditions that would limit exercise participation.

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

No Intervention

Experimental

Arm Label

Control Group

Interventional (exercise training) Group

Arm Description

Standard physician-guided medical care after COVID-19

8 week home-based exercise training

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Maximal oxygen update (VO2max) measured in mL/kg/min
VO2max is the maximal oxygen consumed during an exhaustive exercise test

Secondary Outcome Measures

Peak exercise work rate (Wpeak) measured in Watts
Wpeak is the highest achieved power during a maximal incremental cycle exercise test
Forced vital capacity (FVC) measured in L
FVC is the largest amount of air that can be exhaled from the lungs in one maximal breath
Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) measured in L
FEV1 is the largest amount of air that can be exhaled from the lungs in the first second of one maximal breath
Maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) measured in cmH2O
Highest inspiratory muscle pressure (i.e. inspiratory muscle strength) during a maximal inspiratory effort
Maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) measured in cmH2O
Highest expiratory muscle pressure (i.e. expiratory muscle strength) during a maximal expiratory effort
Left ventricular contractile function measured as % fractional area change (LV FAC)
LV FAC is a measure of overall contractile function of the LV
Right ventricular contractile function measured as % fractional area change (RV FAC)
RV FAC is a measure of overall contractile function of the RV

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This research study is being done to find out what the longer-term physiological consequences of COVID-19 are, and to determine if exercise therapy can help improve lung function, heart function and overall fitness, and reduce symptoms in people recovering from SARS-CoV-2.
Detailed Description
The purpose of this research is to see if taking part in structured exercise training will improve the ability to exercise, the function of the lungs and the function of the heart, and reduce symptoms of fatigue and breathlessness in people recovering from COVID-19. After enrollment all patients will complete exercise testing, lung function testing, and cardiac imaging. Patients will be randomized to either 8 weeks of exercise training (4-5 times per week) or will continue standard medical care. All patients will undergo detailed exercise testing, lung function testing, and cardiac imaging after the intervention.
