COVID-19 and its consequences in resuming the practice of physical exercise
Main Article Content
Abstract
The aim of this study was to discuss and analyze the consequences faced in the return to physical activity of the individuals affected by COVID-19. Descriptive research with an exploratory survey design was carried out with 34 participants, all of them affected by COVID-19 and with a previous history of physical training. The research instruments were built from two independent blocks: a) characterization of the participants and; b) application of SF-36. The data did not show normality according to the Shapiro-Wilk test and homogeneity according to the Levene's test. The results were presented from a descriptive analysis. The Chi-square test showed a significant association between the variables muscle weakness or fatigue and dyspnea (p <0.05). It was observed that the participants, especially women, reported performance loss. As COVID-19 is a little-known health condition, deeper analyzes should be carried out to highlight its consequences, especially in longitudinal studies.
