The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has emerged at the end of 2019 and caused a global pandemic. The disease predominantly affects the respiratory system; however, there is evidence that it is a multisystem disease that also impacts the cardiovascular system. Although the long-term consequences of COVID-19 are not well-known, evidence from similar diseases alerts for the possibility of long-term impaired physical function and reduced quality of life, especially in those requiring critical care. Therefore, rehabilitation strategies are needed to improve outcomes in COVID-19 survivors. Among the possible strategies, resistance training (RT) might be particularly interesting, since it has been shown to increase functional capacity both in acute and chronic respiratory conditions and in cardiac patients. The present article aims to propose evidence-based and practical suggestions for RT prescription for people who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 with a special focus on immune, respiratory, and cardiovascular systems. Based on the current literature, we present RT as a possible safe and feasible activity that can be time-efficient and easy to be implemented in different settings.
新型冠状病毒病（COVID-19）于2019年末出现并引发了全球大流行。该疾病主要影响呼吸系统；然而，有证据表明它是一种多系统疾病，也会影响心血管系统。尽管COVID-19的长期后果尚不明确，但类似疾病的证据警示了长期身体功能受损和生活质量下降的可能性，尤其是在那些需要重症监护的患者中。因此，需要康复策略来改善COVID-19幸存者的预后。在可能的策略中，抗阻训练（RT）可能特别值得关注，因为它已被证明在急性和慢性呼吸道疾病以及心脏病患者中均能提高功能能力。本文旨在为被诊断为COVID-19的患者的抗阻训练处方提出基于证据的实用建议，特别关注免疫、呼吸和心血管系统。基于当前文献，我们提出抗阻训练是一种可能安全可行的活动，它可以高效利用时间且易于在不同环境中实施。
