COVID-19
Conditions
Interventions
We evaluated 60 patients with COVID-19 who were discharged from the Instituto Central do HCFMUSP - SP, at least 3 months after April 2020. The volunteers were recruited from the HC system records and
muscle strength (handgrip) and cardiorespiratory capacity (spirometry). The allocation to the groups was made according to a randomized and stratified numerical sequence generated prior to the first a

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1: We expect to find an improvement in functional capacity through the Katz index with increased strength through concurrent training and dynamometry evaluation between the pre and post intervention periods.;Outcome found 1: An increase in functional capacity was found through the Katz index and a considerable increase in strength through concurrent training and dynamometry evaluation between the pre and post intervention periods.;Expected outcome 2: We expect an improvement in body composition, with a decrease in fat, through a Bioimpedance scale between the pre and post intervention periods.;Outcome found 2: A reduction in body fat was found using a Bioimpedance scale between the pre and post intervention periods.;Expected outcome 3: We expect to find an improvement in cardiorespiratory capacity with training on an ergometric treadmill through the ergometric evaluation between the pre and post intervention periods.;Outcome found 3: An increase in oxygen consumption was found with training on an ergometric treadmill when we analyzed the ergometry tests between the pre and post intervention periods. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1: We expect to observe that the increase in strength and cardiorespiratory capacity increases the function of the debilitated patient through the quality of life questionnaires between the pre and post intervention periods.;Outcome found 1: It was found with increased strength, through concurrent training, and increased oxygen consumption through training on an ergometric treadmill, improved function in patients treated in the protocol when we applied the quality of life questionnaires between periods.;Expected outcome 2: We expect an improvement in mood and psychological status through the Health Assessment Questionnaire between the pre and post intervention periods.;Outcome found 2: An improvement in mood and psychological state was found through the Health Assessment Questionnaire between the pre and post intervention periods. | — |
