DISEASE, OXIDATIVE STRESS, SEQUELAE, DISEASES
The results of this study will provide insights into the effects of different exercise programs on physical and mental fitness, physical condition and biomarkers of the immune system and oxidative stress in older patients with post-COVID-19 sequelae.The promotion of investigation on physical activity and physical exercise as elements to promote health, and also including the perspective of gender, has not only scientific application (generation of scientific knowledge regarding the recovery of patients with diseases and/or older persons who have had COVID-19) but also social application in the everyday lives of this type of patients.The foreseen results of this study will be applied in a sector of the population, that is older persons, who are those who have largely suffered the virulence of the disease, primarily affecting their physical and mental health. Any fundamental physical exercise therapy that reduces the devastating effects of persistent COVID-19 and improves physical and mental health will have sufficient social impact for use in programs of therapy and recovery in older patients with post-COVID-19 sequelae.The findings of this study may be the basis for the formulation of health plans and rehabilitation programs that allow healthy aging and a reduction in the associated morbidity in patients with post-COVID-19 sequelae.
