The coronavirus disease (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, is leading to unknown and unusual health conditions that are challenging to manage. Post-COVID-19 syndrome is one of those challenges, having become increasingly common as the pandemic evolves. The latest estimates suggest that 10 to 20% of the SARS-CoV-2 patients who undergo an acute symptomatic phase are experiencing effects of the disease beyond 12 weeks after diagnosis. Although research is beginning to examine this new condition, there are still serious concerns about the diagnostic identification, which limits the best therapeutic approach. Exercise programs and physical activity levels are well-known modulators of the clinical manifestations and prognosis in many chronic diseases. This narrative review summarizes the up-to-date evidence on post-COVID-19 syndrome to contribute to a better knowledge of the disease and explains how regular exercise may improve many of these symptoms and could reduce the long-term effects of COVID-19.
由严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒 2（SARS-CoV-2）感染引起的冠状病毒病（COVID-19）正在导致未知和异常的健康状况，这些状况难以管理。COVID-19 后综合征就是其中一个挑战，随着大流行的发展，这种情况越来越普遍。最新估计表明，在经历急性症状阶段的 SARS-CoV-2 患者中，有 10%至 20%的患者在诊断后 12 周后仍受到疾病的影响。尽管研究开始研究这种新情况，但对于诊断识别仍存在严重关切，这限制了最佳治疗方法。运动方案和身体活动水平是许多慢性疾病临床表现和预后的众所周知的调节剂。本综述总结了 COVID-19 后综合征的最新证据，以帮助更好地了解该疾病，并解释了定期运动如何改善许多这些症状，并可能降低 COVID-19 的长期影响。
