Long COVID may set you back a decade in exercise gains.
Long covid can rob people of health, energy, employment and joy. It may also strip away the equivalent of a decades' worth of aerobic fitness, according to a large-scale new scientific review of long covid patients and exercise.
That possibility has implications for how long covid is defined and for the health and well-being of long covid patients, months or years from now. But most of these studies were small-scale, sometimes involving a single patient, and typically focused on those who had been hospitalized, often for weeks or longer, making it difficult for researchers to separate the effects of being bedridden and inactive from those of long covid.
They also harbored a raft of unusual, internal responses to exercise, the earlier studies showed. Many people's muscles drew less oxygen from the bloodstream than normal, hampering the muscles' ability to contract. People's heart rates also often failed to ramp up as much would be expected during exercise, slowing blood flow throughout the body, and some people hyperventilated.
