No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The physiological/biomechanical characteristics related to muscle and tendon architecture and their possible relationship with the loss of muscle strength and fatigue in patients who were infected with COVID-19 are totally unknown. The aim of this study is to evaluate inflammatory markers, the isometric maximum voluntary force of the knee extensor torque, muscle fatigue, neuromuscular adaptations, muscle architecture, tendinous properties of quadriceps components, oxygen extraction, and body composition in participants after diagnosis with Covid-19 who had moderate and severe levels of involvement compared to a healthy control group.
