“…Taking into account the possible risks associated with intense exercise for individuals suffering from post-viral chronic fatigue syndrome, we employed intermittent exercise training on a cycle ergometer. After being released from the hospital, intermittent exercise has been demonstrated to be safe and well-tolerated by COVID-19 survivors [53,54]. For patients with respiratory disorders characterized by exertional dyspnea, intermittent exercisewhich alternates brief intervals of exercise with periods of rest-has been shown to be beneficial [55].…”

“…However, several individual components of our practical recommendations have already been investigated in specific clinical trials and were found to be beneficial and safe in many people with long COVID (e.g. interval endurance training [ 38 ] or inspiratory muscle training [ 30 ]).…”

“…In line with this official guidance and considering that exercise programmes at relatively high intensity could be harmful in patients with postviral ‘chronic fatigue syndrome’, we implemented intermittent exercise training on the cycle ergometer starting at 50% of peak work rate. Intermittent exercise has been shown to be safe and well tolerated by COVID-19 survivors post-hospital discharge 16 56. Intermittent exercise, consisting of repeated bouts of exercise that are alternated with short periods of rest, has shown to be effective in respiratory patients with profound symptoms of exertional breathlessness and leg discomfort 57.…”

“…Early in the course of the pandemic, medical associations worldwide issued guidance emphasising the necessity for rehabilitation programmes tailored to the needs of the growing number of post-COVID-19 patients with persistent symptoms and disabilities 14 15. Since then, an increasing number of prospective, single cohort studies have shown that rehabilitation is a feasible, safe and effective therapeutic intervention in post-COVID-19 patients with a range of severity and symptoms 16 17. Studies have shown clinically meaningful benefits in improving symptoms (including fatigue), exercise capacity, respiratory function and measures of HRQoL in these patients 8 17–19.…”
