2 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This study is being done to understand body's response to hybrid home-based and on-site rehabilitation program utilizing individually tailored exercises throughout a total of 18 sessions with 12 of them occurring onsite, in people with and without chronic respiratory diseases, such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and in individuals recovered from COVID-19. Exercise training programs vary widely for people with COPD, OSA, and during prolonged recovery from COVID infection. This study will help identify if this program is helpful to address muscle loss and fatigue specifically in populations with and without chronic respiratory diseases.
Individuals who had COVID-19 and are thought to have recovered from the disease often experience long-term symptoms such as fatigue, extreme tiredness and shortness of breath, a condition referred to as Long COVID. Previous studies have shown that regular exercise is beneficial for individuals suffering similar symptoms as a result of other diseases such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The goal of this study is determine if participation in a three-month structured exercise program will improve physical function in individuals suffering from Long COVID.
