It is estimated that 50 million are living with Long COVID-19 worldwide, and that many of them are unable to return to work or live independently. Regular physical activity has positive effects in many long-term conditions, but its role in persistent post-viral symptoms is controversial. In this cross-sectional study from the UK, we investigated the physical activity patterns in 477 individuals with long COVID-19. This self-selected cohort were at least 10 times less active than before their COVID-19 infection. Most of them reported that their symptoms worsened with physical activity. They also reported receiving inconsistent advice from healthcare professionals on how to increase their activity. Further research is needed to understand how to safely return to previous activity levels in long COVID-19. View this paper.
