Brief Summary

The objective of this study will be to compare the effects of Circuit Training Program on Cardiopulmonary Parameters and Functional Capacity in Post COVID 19 patients. This study will be a Randomized Clinical trial. Data will be collected from Boston Physiotherapy and Wellness Clinic, Lahore. One group will receive Circuit Training and other group will receive Aerobic Exercises. All subjects will receive a total of three treatment sessions per week over the period of 12 weeks. Outcome will be measured at baseline, 6th week and 12th week with 6 Minute Walk Test (6MWT), Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE 6-20), Spirometer for PFT and Post-Covid 10 Functional Status Scale.The data will be analyse using SPSS v 25.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

• 6 Minutes Walk Test

  A simple 6 minutes' walk test (6MWT) is a reliable tool to assess cardiorespiratory effort tolerance in chronic lung and chronic heart failure patients. The test provides a global assessment of the cardio pulmonary reserves

  6th Week of Treatment

• Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE 6-20):

  The Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale is a subjective assessment of how hard someone feels they are working and can be helpful to guide people in choosing what activities to do as they progress through the phases of increasing physical activity.

  6th Week of Treatment

• Post-Covid Functional Status Scale (PCFS)

  An ordinal tool that is proposed to measure the full spectrum of functional outcomes following COVID-19

Study Arms (2)

Circuit Training

EXPERIMENTAL

This group preformed interval training alternating between aerobic and resistance training, varying between moderate to high intensity. Each set started with 3 minutes of aerobic training on cycle or treadmill followed by resistance training and a rest interval. Eight circuits were formed; horizontal rowing, chest press, leg press, shoulder press, leg extension, lateral pull down, leg flexion and partial squat. Weight was calculated through 1 RM calculation. This training is to be carried out for 12 weeks, in three phases, the intensity progressing from light to moderate (30% of RM to 50%). Sessions will be carried out thrice a week.

Other: Circuit Training Exercise Program

Aerobic Training

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The control group consists of aerobic exercise training, with 20 minutes on the cycle, 15 minutes of treadmill and 10 minutes of walking

Other: Aerobic Training Exercise Program

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 40 Years - 60 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

• Middle age adults (40-60 years), medically stable, but previously diagnosed with cardiac diseases.
• Patients who have recovered recently from Covid-19 (6-8 weeks post-discharge).
• Oxygen saturation levels are maintained above 92% at rest and during exercise.
• Heart Rate should not be elevated more than 20 beats per minute as per the calculated heart rate range (if the patient is on beta-blockers, that should be kept in consideration)
• Systolic blood pressure should be ≥90 mmHg and ≤180 mmHg.
• Symptoms of dyspnea: Borg scale \>4
• Fatigue: Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) \>11-12

You may not qualify if:

• There are signs of active infection/systemic illness going on, presence of fatigue and breathlessness even at rest.
• Participant is febrile (body temperature \>38.6degree Celsius)
• Oxygen Saturation levels below \<93%.
• Systolic Blood pressure \<90 mmHg or \>180mmHg. -
