Summary
This study tests whether a personalized cardiopulmonary rehabilitation program can help people with Long COVID who struggle with exercise intolerance and post-exertional malaise. About 360 participants will do 2-3 supervised sessions per week for 12 weeks, including aerobic exercise, strength training, and education. The goal is to improve walking endurance, daily activity tolerance, and quality of life.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a safe, structured exercise program to help people with Long COVID walk longer and feel better in daily life.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage study without a placebo control, so results may not apply to everyone. Some participants may not improve or could feel worse due to post-exertional malaise.
