This study investigated the impacts of online and face-to-face Mat Pilates training in adults with persistent symptoms of long COVID on health outcomes. Forty-nine patients (52 ± 5.85 yr.) diagnosed with long COVID related to fatigue symptoms were randomly included in three groups: online Mat Pilates training (n = 16), face-to-face Mat Pilates training (n = 15), and a control group (n = 18) without training. Mat Pilates training was conducted three times a week for 12 weeks. Fatigue, functional capacity, anthropometrics, body composition, and cardiometabolic markers were assessed before and after the interventions. Two-factor Generalized Estimating Equation analyses identified significant differences with Bonferroni post hoc testing ( < 0.05). After the intervention, only the face-to-face Mat Pilates training group had an improved total, physical and mental fatigue, trunk isometric strength, upper limb muscle endurance strength, and aerobic capacity ( < 0.05). No changes were found in fat mass, muscle mass, free fat mass, % of fat, body mass, body mass index, or waist and hip circumferences. No significant changes were observed in blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, triglycerides, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, or blood pressure ( > 0.05). Our results highlight the potential of face-to-face Mat Pilates training as an effective intervention to mitigate persistent symptoms of long COVID related to fatigue and functional capacities.
本研究调查了在线和面对面的 Mat Pilates 训练对长期 COVID 后持续症状的成年人健康结果的影响。49 名患有与疲劳症状相关的长 COVID 的患者(52 ± 5.85 岁)被随机分为三组:在线 Mat Pilates 训练组(n = 16)、面对面 Mat Pilates 训练组(n = 15)和无训练对照组(n = 18)。Mat Pilates 训练每周进行 3 次,持续 12 周。在干预前后评估疲劳、功能能力、人体测量学、身体成分和心血管代谢标志物。双因素广义估计方程分析结合 Bonferroni 事后检验发现有显著差异(<0.05)。干预后,只有面对面的 Mat Pilates 训练组的总疲劳、身体疲劳和精神疲劳、躯干等长力量、上肢肌肉耐力力量和有氧能力得到改善(<0.05)。脂肪量、肌肉量、游离脂肪量、脂肪百分比、体重、体重指数或腰围和臀围没有变化。血糖、糖化血红蛋白、甘油三酯、总胆固醇、高密度脂蛋白、低密度脂蛋白或血压均无显著变化(>0.05)。我们的结果强调了面对面的 Mat Pilates 训练作为减轻与疲劳和功能能力相关的长期 COVID 持续症状的有效干预措施的潜力。
