Comparison of cardiopulmonary fitness level with normal values after COVID-19 and evaluation of factors affecting physical capacity
The exercise capacity of certain individuals was low nearly three months after COVID-19. Younger age, male sex, and COVID-19 severity were related to low exercise capacity. Respiratory dysfunctions and physical inactivity-induced deconditioning were the factors affecting exercise capacity.
