Brief Summary

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

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

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

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.
