Physical activity & Long-COVID-Syndrome

The proposed research project aims to explore an individualized endurance-oriented training program for patients with persistent symptoms after an infection with SARS-CoV-2 (Long-COVID-Syndrome) in terms of its basic safety, feasibility, and general effectiveness, as well as to derive concrete recommendations for a training intervention programm. The project will be carried out within a period of 12 months in the sense of a pilot project. The overall goal of the research project is to develop recommendations for specif-ic exercise programs capable of improving the overall health status of Long-COVID patients through physical activity. The aim of the present sub-project is to design a suitable, primarily endurance-oriented training program, individualized according to performance, age, sociological framework and motivation, which is then instructed and monitored during the project phase.
