What this trial studies

This study aims to compare the immediate cardiovascular and perceptual responses to a single exercise session in individuals who have experienced COVID-19, focusing on those with and without persistent symptoms. Participants will engage in both an exercise session, which includes aerobic and strength exercises, and a control session where they remain seated. Measurements such as blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation will be taken before, during, and after each session to assess their responses. The study employs a crossover design to ensure that each participant serves as their own control.
