Online Aerobic Exercise During the COVID-19 Era: Exploring Physical Performance and Health-related Quality of Life Changes in Non-diagnosed COVID-19 Adults
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Online aerobic exercise for Exercise. Completed, enrolled 56 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
During the new coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) pandemic, assessing the effects of online aerobic exercise on physical performance and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in adults has garnered significant interest. This study, which investigated the impact of four-week online aerobic exercise on physical performance and HRQoL in non-diagnosed COVID-19 adults, provides crucial insights. After the study was completed, the four-week online exercise program did not significantly enhance physical performance and HRQoL but increased physical activity. These findings are important for understanding the potential of online aerobic exercise. While it may not yield notable health-related benefits, it can boost physical activity in non-diagnosed COVID-19 adults.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Before starting the online aerobic exercises, for general warm-up, two minutes of walking, one minute of marching, and ten repetitions of bilateral reciprocal shoulder flexion-extension, shoulder horizontal abduction-adduction, and unilateral shoulder flexion and circling exercises were performed. For the upper extremity, full elbow extension with shoulder retraction in full shoulder flexion (Exercise V), elbows 90 degrees flexion with shoulder retraction in 90 degrees abduction (Exercise U), and full elbow flexion with shoulder extension of about 30 degrees (Exercise W) were performed. Standing hip abduction-extension, elevation on tiptoe, standing-sitting from a chair with hands on shoulders, squatting, tandem walking, and standing on one leg exercises were performed in the lower extremities. Gastrocnemius, hamstring, and shoulder posterior and inferior capsule stretching exercises were conducted as cooling exercises.
