About this study

Official title: Determination of Exercise Capacity and Muscle Strenght in Individuals With COVID-19, the Effect of Aerobic Exercise Training.

The subject of the project is the impact of COVID-19 on the exercise capacity of patients. The long-term sequelae of COVID-19 infection are still unknown. It is not yet clear whether pulmonary sequelae, which may be a consequence of the disease, are associated with a measurable functional deficit. In this project, the aerobic capacity of healthy people will be compared with individuals who have experienced Covid-19, and the amount of increase in aerobic capacity will be determined at the end of 15 sessions by applying a rehabilitation program including bicycle ergometry to individuals who have experienced Covid-19 Detailed description : In December 2020, in the pneumonia epidemic in which the city of Wuhan, China is the center, pneumonia developed due to the newly defined SARS-CoV-2 factor was defined as Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). It has been observed that clinical findings of SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients hospitalized in Wuhan range from mild manifestations such as asymptomatic disease and mild upper respiratory tract infection to severe viral pneumonia accompanied by respiratory failure and may result in death.The long-term sequelae of COVID19 are still unknown. Pulmonary sequelae that impair physical fitness have been predominantly defined for hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Although lung lesions have been identified as asymptomatically in infected individuals, it is not yet clear whether these observations are related to a measurable functional deficit in physical fitness. They measured the change in the predicted maximum aerobic capacity (VO2 max) of non-infected,asymptomatically infected, and recovering COVID-19 individuals with a well-established and validated physical fitness test before and after the COVID-19 outbreak among young Swiss adults.They demonstrated decreased aerobic capacity in young adults 1 to 2 months after symptomatic COVID-19 without physical strength being affected. In their study, 19% of young adults who recovered after COVID-19 had a VO2 max decrease of more than 10% compared to baseline before infection. It has been identified that decreased VO2 max value is the hallmark of interstitial lung disease. SARS-CoV-2 infection causes lung damage even in asymptomatic cases.

A total of 64 people, including 32 people in 2 groups between the ages of 18-55, who have or have not had corona virus infection, who applied to Bülent Ecevit University Faculty of Medicine Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation or Infectious Diseases outpatient clinics for different reasons, will be included in our project. The research start date is February 2021 and the end date is February 2023. At the beginning of the study, demographic information of the individuals such as gender, age,height, weight, occupation, education, body mass index, physical activity level (international physical activity index-IPAQ), the most used hand (dominant hand) in daily life activities will be recorded. In the control group, resting heart rate, blood pressure, saturation measurement, ECG will be performed before exercise. In addition, in order to evaluate their muscle strength, microFET3 manual muscle measurement device will be used to measure the triceps muscle strength in the upper extremity they actively use, and the quadriceps muscle strength of the same side will be measured, and their grip strength will be measured with the JAMAR hydraulic hand dynamometer. Using the international physical activity index(IPAQ), activity status in daily life will be assessed. The exercise capacity of all individuals will be measured with the aid of the COSMED Quark CPET device using the bicycle ergometry test recommended by the American Society of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation. In this test, submaximal exercise test will be performed by providing 25 W increase in 2 minutes periods after the warm-up period at 0 load (W) for 2 minutes. In addition, the borg scale obtained at the end of the test, metabolic equivalent of task (MET) and maximum work (W), test duration, maximum heart rate parameters will also be recorded in order to evaluate the exercise capacity.

Individuals who have been confirmed by the previous SARS-COV 2 real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test to have coronovirus infection after the test will be included in a treatment program of 15 sessions, at least 3 sessions per week, with bicycle ergometry. After 15 sessions, exercise capacity will be re-evaluated using the cycling test, the aforementioned triceps and grip muscle strengths, V02 max, maximum conjugate (MET), maximum work (w), borg scale, maximum heart rate, test time parameters will be saved again after treatment.

The cardiopulmonary exercise test was also performed on 14 individuals from the control group and 15 individuals in the patient group, and by this test, the respiratory exchange ratio (RER), anaerobic threshold (AT), maximum oxygen capacity (VO 2peak ), maximum ventilatory capacity at anaerobic threshold (VO 2AT ), carbon dioxide ventilatory equivalent (VE/CO 2 ), heart rate recovery (HRR) and heart rate recovery at 1 min (HRR1) parameters were evaluated. The test was repeated after 15 sessions of aerobic exercise training for the individuals in the COVID-19 group who participated in the cardiopulmonary exercise test, and the patients were evaluated using the same parameters.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Assessment of Physical activity by using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)

    International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) is a scale based on self-report, developed as a result of research conducted in 12 different countries with the support of WHO (Craig et al., 2003). The short form of the scale consists of 7 items. Through the scale, the time spent by the individual for sitting, walking, and moderate and high intensity physical activities is tried to be determined. The time and day values obtained from the scale are multiplied by the MET value determined for each item and added to the total physical activity time. MET values are calculated as sitting: 1.5 MET, walking: 3.3 MET, moderate physical activity: 4.0 MET, vigorous physical activity: 8.0 MET. With the physical activity value obtained after the calculation, the person is classified according to low, medium or high physical activity level.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Assessment of Triceps muscle strength by using the Micro FET3 muscle strength device (time frame: 3-5 weeks). The study lists 14 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Feb 2024.
