Long Covid causes changes in body that make exercise debilitating study
Biological changes such as severe muscle damage, mitochondrial problems, and microclots are to blame for the fatigue, pain, and malaise experienced by people with long Covid after exercise.
A study involving 25 long Covid patients and 21 recovered Covid patients found that those with long Covid had lower exercise capacity, a higher proportion of white fibres in their muscles, and impaired functioning of mitochondria. [ more ]
