AEP Case Conference: Return to Physical Activity & Exercise After Covid
Two slightly different case studies will be provided on return to exercise from acute Covid-19 infection. The focus will be on the outcome measures, clinical symptoms that will present and signs to watch out for. We will discuss how to determine where to start in terms of FITT-VP prescribing of exercise and when we may progress, regress or maintain the program according to the types of signs and symptoms experienced. We will discuss the relative benefits and weaknesses of using different markers of exercise intensity.
with Dr Neil Smart, PhD, M.Med.Sci., Bsc Hons, ESSAF
