I don’t let anyone in my exercise trials if they have been infected in the last 3 months. If they’ve been hospitalized for Covid, they require a cardiac screening by a physician.
“I don’t let anyone in my exercise trials if they have been infected in the last 3 months. If they’ve been hospitalized for Covid, they require a cardiac screening by a physician.
Honestly, I’ve had so much difficulty recruiting this past year that I’m beginning to think that we’re quickly reaching the point I’ve been warning about for years… Adults 35-64 have begun to lose the capacity to exercise.”

Multiomic characterisation of the long-term sequelae of SARS survivors: a clinical observational study
“Although health outcomes continued to improve, our study suggested that SARS survivors still suffered from physical fatigue, osteoporosis, and necrosis of the femoral head 18 years after discharge, possibly related to plasma metabolic disorders and immunological alterations.”
Although health outcomes continued to improve, our study suggested that SARS survivors still suffered from physical fatigue, osteoporosis, and necrosis of the femoral head 18 years after discharge, possibly related to plasma metabolic disorders and immunological alterations.
Fatigue was the most common symptom in SARS survivors 18 years after discharge, with osteoporosis and necrosis of the femoral head being the main sequelae. The respiratory function and hip function scores of the SARS survivors were significantly lower than those of the controls. Physical and social functioning at 18 years was improved compared to that after 12 years but still worse than the controls. Emotional and mental health were fully recovered. Lung lesions on CT scans remained consistent at 18 years, especially in the right upper lobe and left lower lobe lesions. Plasma multiomics analysis indicated an abnormal metabolism of amino acids and lipids, promoted host defense immune responses to bacteria and external stimuli, B-cell activation, and enhanced cytotoxicity of CD8+ T cells but impaired antigen presentation capacity of CD4+ T cells.
