Abstract：
Background: Evidence suggests that COVID-19 infection can cause lasting health consequences. Multidisciplinary rehabilitation services have been recommended to reduce the sequalae. However, the effectiveness of physical exercise interventions remains insufficiently documented. The aim of this study was to develop and implement a specific and well-tolerated protocol-based intervention to reduce muscle weakness in older adults impacted by COVID-19. Methods: Forty-six older adults were randomized into intervention and control groups. Isometric and isokinetic strength assessments were conducted for selected muscle groups using a JBA Staniak® torquemeter and Biodex System 3 dynamometer. Functional abilities were evaluated with the Time Up and Go test and Chair Stand Tests. Results: Men in the intervention group demonstrated a significant improvement in static conditions for knee flexors (KFs), trunk extensors (TEs) and trunk flexors (TFs) and in dynamic conditions for knee extensors (KEs). Women in the intervention group showed a significant improvement in static conditions for EFs, KFs, TEs and TFs and in dynamic conditions for a KE and a KF. The interaction GROUP × TESTING SESSION was significant for the Chair Test (s) and Chair Test (n). Conclusions: Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of a well-tolerated, protocol-based approach that can be used to diminish long-lasting functional deficits in post-COVID survivors.
摘要：
背景：有证据表明，COVID-19感染可导致持久的健康后果。建议提供多学科康复服务以减少后遗症。然而,体育锻炼干预措施的有效性仍未得到充分记录.这项研究的目的是开发和实施一种具体且耐受性良好的基于方案的干预措施，以减少受COVID-19影响的老年人的肌肉无力。方法：46名老年人随机分为干预组和对照组。使用JBAStaniak®扭矩计和Biodex系统3测力计对选定的肌肉群进行等速和等速力评估。通过TimeUpandGo测试和椅子支架测试评估了功能能力。结果：干预组中的男性在膝关节屈肌（KFs）的静态状况方面表现出显着改善，躯干伸肌（TE）和躯干屈肌（TF）以及动态条件下的膝关节伸肌（KEs）。干预组中的女性在EF的静态条件方面表现出显着改善，KFs,TE和TFs以及KE和KF的动态条件。交互组×测试会议对于椅子测试(s)和椅子测试(n)具有重要意义。结论：我们的结果表明，耐受性良好，基于方案的方法，可用于减少COVID后幸存者的长期功能缺陷。
