The long-term sequelae of COVID-19 infection are still unknown. It is not yet clear whether pulmonary sequelae, which may be a consequence of the disease, are associated with a measurable functional deficit. In this project, the aerobic capacity of healthy people will be compared with individuals who have experienced Covid-19, and the amount of increase in aerobic capacity will be determined at the end of 15 sessions by applying a rehabilitation program including bicycle ergometry to individuals who have experienced Covid-19 Detailed description : In December 2020, in the pneumonia epidemic in which the city of Wuhan, China is the center, pneumonia developed due to the newly defined SARS-CoV-2 factor was defined as Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). It has been observed that clinical findings of SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients hospitalized in Wuhan range from mild manifestations such as asymptomatic disease and mild upper respiratory tract infection to severe viral pneumonia accompanied by respiratory failure and may result in death.The long-term sequelae of COVID19 are still unknown. Pulmonary sequelae that impair physical fitness have been predominantly defined for hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Although lung lesions have been identified as asymptomatically in infected individuals, it is not yet clear whether these observations are related to a measurable functional deficit in physical fitness. They measured the change in the predicted maximum aerobic capacity (VO2 max) of non-infected,asymptomatically infected, and recovering COVID-19 individuals with a well-established and validated physical fitness test before and after the COVID-19 outbreak among young Swiss adults.They demonstrated decreased aerobic capacity in young adults 1 to 2 months after symptomatic COVID-19 without physical strength being affected. In their study, 19% of young adults who recovered after COVID-19 had a VO2 max decrease of more than 10% compared to baseline before infection. It has been identified that decreased VO2 max value is the hallmark of interstitial lung disease. SARS-CoV-2 infection causes lung damage even in asymptomatic cases.A total of 64 people, including 32 people in 2 groups between the ages of 18-55, who have or have not had corona virus infection, who applied to Bülent Ecevit University Faculty of Medicine Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation or Infectious Diseases outpatient clinics for different reasons, will be included in our project. The research start date is February 2021 and the end date is February 2023. At the beginning of the study, demographic information of the individuals such as gender, age,height, weight, occupation, education, body mass index, physical activity level (international physical activity index-IPAQ), the most used hand (dominant hand) in daily life activities will be recorded. In the control group, resting heart rate, blood pressure, saturation measurement, ECG will be performed before exercise. In addition, in order to evaluate their muscle strength, microFET3 manual muscle measurement device will be used to measure the triceps muscle strength in the upper extremity they actively use, and the quadriceps muscle strength of the same side will be measured, and their grip strength will be measured with the JAMAR hydraulic hand dynamometer. Using the international physical activity index(IPAQ), activity status in daily life will be assessed. The exercise capacity of all individuals will be measured with the aid of the COSMED Quark CPET device using the bicycle ergometry test recommended by the American Society of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation. In this test, submaximal exercise test will be performed by providing 25 W increase in 2 minutes periods after the warm-up period at 0 load (W) for 2 minutes. In addition, the borg scale obtained at the end of the test, metabolic equivalent of task (MET) and maximum work (W), test duration, maximum heart rate parameters will also be recorded in order to evaluate the exercise capacity.Individuals who have been confirmed by the previous SARS-COV 2 real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test to have coronovirus infection after the test will be included in a treatment program of 15 sessions, at least 3 sessions per week, with bicycle ergometry. After 15 sessions, exercise capacity will be re-evaluated using the cycling test, the aforementioned triceps and grip muscle strengths, V02 max, maximum conjugate (MET), maximum work (w), borg scale, maximum heart rate, test time parameters will be saved again after treatment., conditionsModule conditions: COVID-19 Pneumonia, conditions: COVID-19, designModule studyType: INTERVENTIONAL, phases: NA, designInfo allocation: NON_RANDOMIZED, interventionModel: PARALLEL, primaryPurpose: TREATMENT, maskingInfo masking: NONE, enrollmentInfo count: 41, type: ACTUAL, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: Kardiopulmonary exercise test (Quark KPET C12x/T12x device connected to the Omnia version 1.6.8 COSMED system), interventions name: Peripheral muscle strength measurement (microFET3 (Hoggan Health Industries, Fabrication Enterprises, lnc) and JAMAR hydraulic hand dynamometer (Sammons Preston, Rolyon, Bolingbrook)., interventions name: Standard exercise tolerance test (a bicycle ergometer and recorded through the ergoline rehabilitation system 2 Version 1.08 SPI.), interventions name: Aerobic exercise training (a bicycle ergometer and recorded through the ergoline rehabilitation system 2 Version 1.08 SPI.), outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: Assessment of Triceps muscle strength by using the Micro FET3 muscle strength device, primaryOutcomes measure: Assessment of Maximum work (watts) ın the standard exercise tolerance test using a bicycle ergometer and recording it via ergoline rehab system 2 Version 1.08 SPI., primaryOutcomes measure: Assessment of Metabolic Equivalent (MET) in the standard exercise tolerance test using a bicycle ergometer and recording it via ergoline rehab system 2 Version 1.08 SPI., primaryOutcomes measure: Assessment of VO2peak (ml/kg/min) in the exercise tolerance test using a bicycle ergometer and recording it via ergoline rehab system 2 Version 1.08 SPI., primaryOutcomes measure: Assessment of VO2peakpredictive (%) in the standard exercise tolerance test using a bicycle ergometer and recording it via ergoline rehab system 2 Version 1.08 SPI., primaryOutcomes measure: Assessment of Hand grip strength (kg) by using a JAMAR hydraulic hand dynamometer (Sammons Preston, Rolyon, Bolingbrook)., primaryOutcomes measure: Assessment of Exchange Ratio(RER ) by using cardiopulmonary exercise test, a Quark KPET C12x/T12x device connected to the Omnia version 1.6.8 COSMED system,, primaryOutcomes measure: Assessment of Anaerobik Treshold (VAT) by using cardiopulmonary exercise test with a Quark KPET C12x/T12x device connected to the Omnia version 1.6.8 COSMED system,, primaryOutcomes measure: Assessment of Maximum Oxygen Capacity (VO2peak) by using cardiopulmonary exercise test with a Quark KPET C12x/T12x device connected to the Omnia version 1.6.8 COSMED system,, primaryOutcomes measure: Assessment of Maximum Oxygen Capacity at Ventilatory Anaerobic Threshold (VO2AT) by using cardiopulmonary exercise test with a Quark KPET C12x/T12x device connected to the Omnia version 1.6.8 COSMED system,, primaryOutcomes measure: Assessment of Carbon Dioxide Ventilatory Equivalent (VE/CO2) by using cardiopulmonary exercise test with a Quark KPET C12x/T12x device connected to the Omnia version 1.6.8 COSMED system,, primaryOutcomes measure: Assessment of Heart Rate Recovery (HRR) by using cardiopulmonary exercise test with a Quark KPET C12x/T12x device connected to the Omnia version 1.6.8 COSMED system,, primaryOutcomes measure: Assessment of Heart Rate Recovery at first minute (HRR1) by using cardiopulmonary exercise test with a Quark KPET C12x/T12x device connected to the Omnia version 1.6.8 COSMED system,, primaryOutcomes measure: Assessment of quadriceps muscle strength by using the Micro FET3 muscle strength device, secondaryOutcomes measure: Assessment of Physical activity by using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), secondaryOutcomes measure: Assessment of Test Duration (min) in the standard exercise tolerance test using a bicycle ergometer and recording it via ergoline rehab system 2 Version 1.08 SPI., secondaryOutcomes measure: Assessment of Perceived Difficulty by using the Borg Scale, secondaryOutcomes measure: Assessment of Maximum heart rate (beats/min) in the standard exercise tolerance test using a bicycle ergometer and recording it via ergoline rehab system 2 Version 1.08 SPI., secondaryOutcomes measure: Assessment of Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (mmHg) by using a blood pressure monitor, secondaryOutcomes measure: Assessment of resting heart rate (beats/min) by using a a pulse oximeter, eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 18 Years, maximumAge: 55 Years, stdAges: ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit University, city: Zonguldak, zip: 67100, country: Turkey, geoPoint lat: 41.45139, lon: 31.79305, hasResults: False
