In March 2020, we observed an outbreak of COVID-19 among a relatively homogenous group of 199 young (median age 21 years; 87% men) Swiss recruits. By comparing physical endurance before and in median 45 days after the outbreak, we found a significant decrease in predicted maximal aerobic capacity in COVID-19 convalescent but not in asymptomatically infected and SARS-CoV-2 naive recruits. This finding might be indicative of lung injury after apparently mild COVID-19 in young adults.
2020 年 3 月，我们观察到一群相对同质的 199 名年轻（中位年龄 21 岁；87%为男性）瑞士新兵中爆发了 COVID-19。通过比较爆发前后的身体耐力，我们发现 COVID-19 恢复期患者的预测最大有氧能力显著下降，但无症状感染和 SARS-CoV-2 无感染的新兵则没有。这一发现可能表明，在年轻成年人中，即使 COVID-19 症状较轻，也可能导致肺部损伤。
