Summary

Older adults and people with underlying medical conditions are at higher risk for developing serious complications related to SARS-CoV-2 resulting in prolonged sequelae. The goal of this proposal is to compare the benefits of home-based lower limb heat therapy to exercise training on cardio-metabolic function and mobility in older adults during their convalescence from hospitalization due to SARS-CoV-2.
