Cardiopulmonary exercise testing in COVID-19 survivors at 3 months reveals only mild exercise capacity impairment due to deconditioning, with preserved ventilatory and gas exchange responses.
What is the mechanism of impaired exercise response in COVID-19 survivors at 3 months follow-up?
Impaired exercise capacity in COVID-19 survivors at 3 months is mild and primarily driven by deconditioning rather than intrinsic cardiopulmonary deficits.

Rinaldo et al. (2021) studied this question. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing in COVID-19 survivors at 3 months reveals only mild exercise capacity impairment due to deconditioning, with preserved ventilatory and gas exchange responses.
