Objective: to compare the effect of aerobic versus resistance training on Dyspnea and CRP levels in post-COVID-19 patients.
Participants and methods: Sixty young adults volunteer patients of both sex (26 men & 34 women) with Past history of COVID-19 after recovery since 2 to 4 months, their age ranged from 18 to 35 years, their body mass index (BMI) ranged from 18.5 to 35 Kg/m2, they were selected and referred from the Outpatient clinic and the Emergency department of Al-Mataria Teaching Hospital, Cairo, Egypt. They were subdivided into two groups equal in numbers; group A received an aerobic exercise (AE) program in form of cycle ergometer protocols for six weeks and group B received upper and lower body resistance training (RT) using free weights for six weeks, and evaluated through measuring Modified Borg Scale to measure Breathlessness (dyspnea score) & blood levels of C- reactive protein (CRP).
Results: It revealed that a statistical significant decrease (P |
