Return to Physical Activity & Exercise After Covid Webinar
This PDO will inform AES and AEP members on the risks of returning to activity too soon and make recommendations on how to adopt a staged approach to return to pre-Covid-19 activity levels.
Return to Physical Activity and Exercise Training After SARS-Covid-19 Infection
People with COVID-19 infection were, both during their illness and for some time afterwards, at increased risk of a broad range of cardiovascular disorders, including:
Cerebrovascular disorders, dysrhythmia, ischemic and non– ischemic heart disease, pericarditis, myocarditis, congestive heart failure and thromboembolic disease. Each person must weigh up their health risks and benefits in determining when, how and how much, with respect to their return to physical activity or exercise training. Prolonged periods of sedentary behaviour carry increased risks for several chronic illnesses, but this has to be balanced against the risk of serious cardiovascular illness if one returns to physical activity too soon. These risks are greatest in those people who experience ‘long Covid-19’. This PDO will inform AES and AEP members on the risks of returning to activity too soon and make recommendations on how to adopt a staged approach to return to pre-Covid-19 activity levels.
