Impaired peripheral oxygen delivery during submaximal exercise in adults with long COVID PMID: 42026739

This study on Long COVID (LC) reveals that individuals exhibit impaired muscle oxygenation and recovery during repeated exercise. Specifically, LC participants showed compromised peripheral oxygen extraction, and their physical performance declined significantly on a second exercise day compared to controls. The findings suggest that tissue hypoxia may contribute to the exacerbation of symptoms in LC.

Long COVID may be affecting how some children learn and participate in school. In a survey of 11,000+ U.S. kids, those with LC were 2.5× more likely to experience chronic illness-related absenteeism and reported higher rates of learning, memory, & concentration difficulties. doi.org/10.3201/eid3...
