Summary

The pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection has resulted, in addition to the well-known acute symptoms, in the emergence of a plethora of persistent, diffuse and heterogeneous symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath and cognitive dysfunction among others, that have come to be called persistent COVID. Patients have reported that physical activity, stress and sleep disturbances often trigger exacerbations of their symptoms related by some authors to the so-called Post Exertional Malaise (PEM) characteristic of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. Similarly, by analogy with other pathologies, it has been hypothesized that optimal exercise prescription would benefit these people with persistent COVID-19 symptoms but in practice, the rehabilitation of these patients runs the risk of collapsing respiratory and physical rehabilitation services. This is why COPERIA proposes the construction of a platform for respiratory, cardiac and muscular telerehabilitation, to compare with face-to-face rehabilitation treatment and to try to predict the influence of physical activity in the prediction of PEM.

Conditions

• SARS-CoV-2 Infection
• COVID-19 Recurrent
• Cognitive Dysfunction
• Fatigue

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	COPERIA-REHAB	After the randomization of the patient there will be some preliminary sessions where the means of self-monitoring training and the Borg 1/10 effort scale will be explained and training videos will be shown. Doubts will also be answered. Afterwards, training will start through the COPERIA-REHAB platform, which will last 8 weeks (6 days per week).
