Muscular Rehabilitation by Eccentric Exercise After Severe COVID-19 Infection

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

With the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of patients to be treated in rehabilitation increased .

Hospitalization for severe infection can induce muscular atrophy and muscular dysfunction that persists for several months and rehabilitation capacities may be exceeded.

Exercises in eccentric mode could be performed, inducing greater muscular hypertrophy, muscle strength, power and speed than concentric exercises.

The goal of this study was to compare functional recovery at 2 months after a training program in eccentric and concentric mode after severe COVID-19.

An effective rehabilitation could help reduce costs and duration of care.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Rehabilitation by Eccentric exercises

Participants will perform 24 exercises sessions (30 minutes) with cycloergometer in eccentric mode (while resisting against self-paced pedaling), inducing a greater muscular hypertrophy as compared with concentric mode, the mechanical stimulation being 3 to 4 times greater at the same level metabolic stimulation.

OTHER

Rehabilitation by Concentric exercises

The control group (concentric) will perform exercise training at an intensity of 60% of the reserve heart rate determined during an initial cardiorespiratory test. The power will be adjusted weekly to stay within the target heart rate range.
