Conclusion: Submaximal 2-day CPET demonstrated a reduction in oxygen uptake, oxygen pulse and partial pressure of end tidal carbon dioxide, suggesting dysfunctional oxygen transport, utilisation or both may contribute to Long COVID symptoms.

A new preprint from our @DerbyUni x @StellenboschUni Long COVID research team has now been published. Findings suggest that exercise may worsen symptoms in Long COVID due to microclot fragmentation. [link to preprint]: researchsquare.com/article/r…

Conclusion: Exercise-induced fragmentation of fibrinaloid microclots may reduce oxygen transport and drive inflammation; providing a potential mechanism for PESE in Long COVID. We hope these findings inform safer rehabilitation approaches.
