ABSTRACT
In a cross-sectional analysis, we have identified a high prevalence of respiratory muscle dysfunction in persistently symptomatic patients after COVID-19 (‘Long COVID’). Respiratory muscle impairment in these patients was associated with exercise-induced deoxygenation, impaired exercise tolerance, activity and functional outcomes after COVID-19.
