An interventional study of Telerehabilitation program in COVID-19 Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, sponsored by Campus docent Sant Joan de Déu-Universitat de Barcelona. Completed at 1 site in Spain. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-05-19.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of a 15-week home telerehabilitation program and a detraining period on cardiorespiratory fitness and muscular efficiency in patients with post-COVID-19 sequelae compared to a control group of COVID-19 patients. We hypothesize that cardiorespiratory fitness and muscular efficiency significantly improve in patients who carry out the home telerehabilitation program. However, the cardiorespiratory and muscular adaptations achieved and tolerance to exercise are lost over time as an effect of detraining.

Exclusion Criteria:
COVID-19 patients will perform a total of 15 weeks of a telerehabilitation program combined with aerobic and strength exercises using the circuit training methodology. COVID-19 patients will carry out 3 weekly sessions on non-consecutive days to avoid unnecessary overload and maximize the adaptations, completing a total of 45 sessions
Other: Telerehabilitation program
COVID-19 patients that will not perform the telerehabilitation program
The supervised telerehabilitation program will be performed in the home of each patient and supervised by an experienced physiotherapist with more than 4 years of clinical experience in therapeutic exercise for chronic diseases.
