“…COVID-19 vaccination status of patients might also affect VO 2peak . We previously demonstrated that physical activity, an important moderator of VO 2peak , differed between unvaccinated and fully vaccinated adults [80]. Finally, different methods to determine VE/ VCO 2 are available [56,81].…”

Patients recovering from COVID-19 often report symptoms of exhaustion, fatigue and dyspnoea and present with exercise intolerance persisting for months post-infection. Numerous studies investigated these sequelae and their possible underlying mechanisms using cardiopulmonary exercise testing. We aimed to provide an in-depth discussion as well as an overview of the contribution of selected organ systems to exercise intolerance based on the Wasserman gears. The gears represent the pulmonary system, cardiovascular system, and periphery/musculature and mitochondria. Thirty-two studies that examined adult patients post-COVID-19 via cardiopulmonary exercise testing were included. In 22 of 26 studies reporting cardiorespiratory fitness (herein defined as peak oxygen uptake— V O 2peak ), V O 2peak was < 90% of predicted value in patients. V O 2peak was notably below normal even in the long-term. Given the available evidence, the contribution of respiratory function to low V O 2peak seems to be only minor except for lung diffusion capacity. The prevalence of low lung diffusion capacity was high in the included studies. The cardiovascular system might contribute to low V O 2peak via subnormal cardiac output due to chronotropic incompetence and reduced stroke volume, especially in the first months post-infection. Chronotropic incompetence was similarly present in the moderate- and long-term follow-up. However, contrary findings exist. Peripheral factors such as muscle mass, strength and perfusion, mitochondrial function, or arteriovenous oxygen difference may also contribute to low V O 2peak . More data are required, however. The findings of this review do not support deconditioning as the primary mechanism of low V O 2peak post-COVID-19. Post-COVID-19 sequelae are multifaceted and require individual diagnosis and treatment.

“…The COVID-19 vaccination campaign, as per the case of the State of Qatar {A total of 256,037 individuals received at least one dose of the mRNA-1273 vaccine, and 181,304 completed the two-dose regimen [between 28 December 2020 and 10 May 2021, ( 12 )]}, has led to most people being more knowledgeable about vaccine effectiveness (e.g., preventing severe illness and death), as reported previously by Chemaitelly et al ( 12 ). One recent study of Schwendinger et al ( 13 ) found a significant association of vaccination status with total PA ( p = 0.011), vigorous PA ( p = 0.015), and moderate PA ( p = 0.001) in German speaking countries. For Ghram et al, ( 14 ) the availability of a vaccine might therefore help increase PA in the general population.…”

ObjectiveTo investigate the impact of COVID-19, as an influent barrier on physical activity (PA) patterns and glycemic control in Qatari adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D). As the COVID-19 vaccine may have a potential impact on an individual's lifestyle, we also considered this parameter.MethodsPhysical activity level, the exercise barriers (BAPAD1), anthropometric characteristics, the method of insulin administration, and the last glycated hemoglobin in % were completed by 102 Qatari adults with T1D. Moreover, all patients were asked whether they had “been vaccinated” or had a “fear of being infected by COVID-19”.ResultsFor the unvaccinated group, weight, BMI and HbA1c (%) were significantly higher than those of vaccinated group (p < 0.01) and engaged in less moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) (p < 0.01) per week and had less time in vigorous PA (VPA) (p < 0.01). A significant association between VPA levels and BMI (β = −0.36, p = 0.02) and HbA1C (%) (β = −0.22; p = 0.03) was reported, and “being vaccinated” was significantly associated with MVPA (β = 0.15; p = 0.021) and VPA (β = 0.28; p = 0.032). A higher “Fear of being infected by COVID-19” score was negatively correlated with reduced PA profiles (R2 = −0.71 for MVPA; R2 = −0.69 for VPA, p < 0.01, respectively).ConclusionPracticing VPA during the COVID-19 pandemic confer many health benefits for Qatari individual with T1D. As the “Fear of being affected by COVID-19” appeared as a potential barrier to PA practices this latter e.g. PA, could likely not be achieved without the participants being vaccinated.
