COVID-19 and the impact of physical activity on persistent symptoms
Both COVID-19 survivors and matched controls reported reductions in physical activity indicating that lower levels of activity were likely due to the pandemic rather than COVID-19 infection alone. However, those who were most affected by COVID-19 infection with persistent symptoms had the greatest reductions in physical activity, even at ∼8 months and ∼4 years post-infection.
