Primary outcomes

  1. Distance walked in the 6-min walk test (6 MWT)

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    The 6-min walk test (6 MWT) measures the distance that a patient can quickly walk on a flat, hard surface in a period of 6 minutes (the 6MWD). (ATS Statement: Guidelines for the Six-Minute Walk Test, Am J Respir Crit Care Med, 2002)

  2. Post-Covid Functional Scale (PCFS)

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    This scale measures the functional state and Independence of patients after COVID-19 infection. The scale includes two items scored from 0-4 and 0-5. A high value indicates more restrictions in function and independence during daily life.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of repetitions performed in a 1-min Sit-to-Stand (STS) test

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    All 1-min STS tests are performed according to a standardized protocol by trained study staff. A standard chair is used with a flat seat and no armrests, stabilized against a wall. Patients are asked to sit with their legs hip-width apart and flexed to 90°, with their hands stationary on the hips.

  2. 2. Anxiety and Depression evaluated by the HAMLITON ScAnxiety and Depressionale (HADS)
