Objective: To evaluate the effects on the perception of fatigue in patients with persistent COVID, who undergo a supervised and directed therapeutic exercise program in a health center compared to a home therapeutic exercise program.
Methods: Randomized pilot study. Subjects who are included in the study will perform a therapeutic exercise program which will last 8 weeks and 2 sessions per week of 1h duration. The participants assigned to the supervised group will carry out the program at the health center, while the participants assigned to the home group will receive telematic supervision (by videoconference). Both groups will be under the supervision of the assigned physiotherapist.
The components that will form part of the exercise program will be: muscular strength training and continuous-variable aerobic training or HIIT type with loads between 70-90% of maximum heart rate. The main variables are fatigue.
