Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will be conducted on eighty patients of both sexes with age ranging from 35 to 45years. The will be recovered from COVID-19 infection with chest symptoms. They will be selected from Nasr city police authority hospital. They will be randomly assigned into 3 equal groups.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study will be conducted on eighty patients of both sexes with age ranging from 35 to 45years. The will be recovered from COVID-19 infection with chest symptoms. They will be selected from Nasr city police authority hospital. They will be randomly assigned into 3 equal groups.

Participants will be assigned into 3 groups equal in number (group A, group B, group C)

Group A (Respiratory Training Group) : It will include 30 patients of both sexes, recovered from COVID-19 infection. In addition to medical drugs, they will receive respiratory training for 6 weeks.

Group B : (Aerobic Training Group) : It will include 30 patients of both sexes, recovered from COVID-19 infection. In addition to medical drugs, they will receive aerobic training for 6 weeks

Group C : (control group) :It will include 20 patients of both sexes, recovered from COVID-19 infection on medical drugs only will receive no exercise as control group.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group A (Respiratory Training Group)

It will include 30 patients of both sexes, recovered from COVID-19 infection. In addition to medical drugs, they will receive respiratory training for 6 weeks.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Respiratory Training

Intervention Type OTHER

Respiratory training in form of :

Diaphragmatic breathing,Segmental breathing, Incentive spirometer:

Group B : (Aerobic Training Group)

It will include 30 patients of both sexes, recovered from COVID-19 infection. In addition to medical drugs, they will receive aerobic training for 6 weeks

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Aerobic training

Intervention Type OTHER

aerobic exercises are customized according to the patient's underlying disease and residual dysfunction. These exercises will include walking on treadmill. After an initial, 5-minute warm-up phase performed on the treadmill at a low load, each endurance training session lasted 30 minutes and ended with 5-minute recovery and relaxation phase. A total of 3-5 sessions are carried out per week. Patients who are prone to fatigue should perform intermittent exercises

Group C : (control group)

It will include 20 patients of both sexes, recovered from COVID-19 infection on medical drugs only will receive no exercise as control group.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
