Scientists Pinpoint Key Part of Cells That Could Drive Long Covid Fatigue

Long Covid patients experience post-exertional malaise due to poor mitochondrial function.
The study provides a direction for further research and potential treatments for long Covid.

A new discovery in the muscles of long COVID patients may explain exercise troubles

Long COVID patients experience post-exertional malaise, a worsening of symptoms after physical activity.
Research shows widespread abnormalities in muscle tissue of long COVID patients, including compromised mitochondria and severe muscle damage.

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.
