Summary

THis study aims to examine PA trajectory, and potential behaviour-change factors least 12 months after COVID-19, across different levels of acute disease severity, and specifically in people with and without Long COVID.

Detailed description

Eligible participants will be contacted and invited for a first visit by a pulmonologist or a respiratory physiotherapist, during which those interested will provide informed consent. Participants will be interviewed and medical records reviewed to collect sociodemographic, anthropometric, and clinical data. Then, functional capacity, peripheral muscle strength, and lung function will be assessed using several tests, and dyspnoea, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and HRQoL through self-administrated questionnaires. Finally, people will be provided with a specific device and instructed on its use for measuring daily PA over one week. A pulmonologist, specialized nurse, or technician from the corresponding centre will perform and assess spirometry, while two respiratory physiotherapists will conduct and supervise all other tests in a reserved space at the same centre. The assessments were scheduled at three time points: at least 12 months after hospital/medical discharge (baseline), three and six months afterward.

BEHAVIORALPhysical activityWe will assess physical activity patterns of patients at baseline (at discharge from hospital or at patients' home), at 12 weeks and 6 months, through an objective measurement (triaxial accelerometer).
