Keywords:
ong COVID, physical training, oxygen consumption, aerobic capacity and MET.Abstract
Long COVID has been described as persistent symptoms of this disease four to 12 weeks after the acute event. A 43-year-old patient is reported, with a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure and grade 2 obesity, who presented with severe COVID-19, and subsequently underwent a rehabilitation program through telemedicine and multilateral physical training. Seven months after finishing the program, she went to the hospital for weakness and fatigue, however, physical tests performed showed no changes. She was admitted and a new physical conditioning program was carried out. At the end of the program, better physical parameters were observed, but with persistence of symptoms, which may exist even in the absence of real physical parameters that explain them, and after performing a physical conditioning intervention.
