Quality of Life and Lung Function on Post Covid-19 Patient

Qassim University40 enrolled

Overview

Gaining a greater understanding of how the breathing exercise combined with aerobic and strengthening exercises will affects lung function and quality of life in post covid-19 persons

this will improve exercise prescription guidelines relevant to this post covid-19. Therefore, the purpose of this work was determining the effect of breathing exercise combined with aerobic and strengthening exercises in improve chest expansion, lung function and quality of life in post covid-19 persons.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Health-related quality of life, Medical Outcomes Study short-form (SF-36)

assessed using the Short Form-36 (SF-36). The SF-36 scale had 8 dimensions, and each dimension was converted into a percentage score.

Time frame: at baseline

Time frame: after 6 weeks

Respiratory function measurement

assessed by a spirometer. The following parameters related to respiratory function will be measured: (1) forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1); (2) forced vital capacity (FVC).
