Tailored, supervised exercise training serves as an effective multisystemic therapy for post-COVID-19 syndrome, mitigating symptoms such as fatigue, dyspnea, and neurocognitive impairment.

If you have persistent symptoms after COVID-19, do not avoid exercise, but do not push through fatigue. Start with low-load, low-volume resistance training and interval-based endurance training that does not take you to failure. The goal is to gradually improve functional capacity and reduce symptoms like breathlessness and brain fog. Consult a specialist to create a tailored plan that respects your current limits and allows for adequate recovery.

ModerateSupportsMEDIUM confidence
There is sufficient evidence suggesting that tailored and supervised exercise training may be an effective multisystemic therapy for post-COVID-19 syndrome that suits the diversity of the cases and symptoms.
