          Abstract

          Background

          The investigation of cardiorespiratory fitness in young adults post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is interesting because this information may help in understanding cardiorespiratory function in these populations. Moreover, it helps to know that these impairments possibly interfere with study, learning, and the activities of daily life in young adults post-COVID-19. This study aims to investigate and compare the cardiorespiratory parameters between 6-minute walk test (6MWT) and 1-minute sit-to-stand test (1-min-STST) in healthy young adults and post-COVID-19 and at a 3-month follow-up.

          Methods

          Forty-six young adults were recruited and divided into two groups including healthy young adults in one group (n=23) and post-COVID-19 patients in the other group (n=23). The young adults were assessed for cardiorespiratory parameters including heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), pulse oxygen saturation (SpO 2), rate of perceived exertion (RPE), and leg fatigue before and after performing a 6MWT and a 1-min STST at baseline and the 3-month follow-up. Test sequences were randomly assigned using the website randomizer.org.

          Results

          Post-COVID-19 had significantly decreased post-HR, post-SBP, post-SpO 2, post-RPE, post-leg fatigue, and increased the distance of 6MWT, and number of steps of 1-min-STST when compared with the baseline (P<0.05). However, all parameters of cardiorespiratory could recover and return to the values of healthy young adults by the follow-up at 3 months.

          Conclusions

          Post-COVID-19 who recovered from mild-COVID-19 for about 6 months recovered their cardiorespiratory parameters to the values of healthy young adults.

            A clinical case definition of post-COVID-19 condition by a Delphi consensus

            People with COVID-19 might have sustained postinfection sequelae. Known by a variety of names, including long COVID or long-haul COVID, and listed in the ICD-10 classification as post-COVID-19 condition since September, 2020, this occurrence is variable in its expression and its impact. The absence of a globally standardised and agreed-upon definition hampers progress in characterisation of its epidemiology and the development of candidate treatments. In a WHO-led Delphi process, we engaged with an international panel of 265 patients, clinicians, researchers, and WHO staff to develop a consensus definition for this condition. 14 domains and 45 items were evaluated in two rounds of the Delphi process to create a final consensus definition for adults: post-COVID-19 condition occurs in individuals with a history of probable or confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, usually 3 months from the onset, with symptoms that last for at least 2 months and cannot be explained by an alternative diagnosis. Common symptoms include, but are not limited to, fatigue, shortness of breath, and cognitive dysfunction, and generally have an impact on everyday functioning. Symptoms might be new onset following initial recovery from an acute COVID-19 episode or persist from the initial illness. Symptoms might also fluctuate or relapse over time. A separate definition might be applicable for children. Although the consensus definition is likely to change as knowledge increases, this common framework provides a foundation for ongoing and future studies of epidemiology, risk factors, clinical characteristics, and therapy.

              An official European Respiratory Society/American Thoracic Society technical standard: field walking tests in chronic respiratory disease.

              Field walking tests are commonly employed to evaluate exercise capacity, assess prognosis and evaluate treatment response in chronic respiratory diseases. In recent years, there has been a wealth of new literature pertinent to the conduct of the 6-min walk test (6MWT), and a growing evidence base describing the incremental and endurance shuttle walk tests (ISWT and ESWT, respectively). The aim of this document is to describe the standard operating procedures for the 6MWT, ISWT and ESWT, which can be consistently employed by clinicians and researchers. The Technical Standard was developed by a multidisciplinary and international group of clinicians and researchers with expertise in the application of field walking tests. The procedures are underpinned by a concurrent systematic review of literature relevant to measurement properties and test conduct in adults with chronic respiratory disease. Current data confirm that the 6MWT, ISWT and ESWT are valid, reliable and responsive to change with some interventions. However, results are sensitive to small changes in methodology. It is important that two tests are conducted for the 6MWT and ISWT. This Technical Standard for field walking tests reflects current evidence regarding procedures that should be used to achieve robust results.
