RICARTE, Ozimikaele Silva et al. Covid-19 e suas consequências na retomada da prática do exercício físico. Educ. fís. cienc. [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.4, e199. ISSN 2314-2561.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/23142561e199.

The aim of this study was to discuss and analyze the consequences faced in the return to physical activity of the individuals affected by COVID-19. Descriptive research with an exploratory survey design was carried out with 34 participants, all of them affected by COVID-19 and with a previous history of physical training. The research instruments were built from two independent blocks: a) characterization of the participants and; b) application of SF-36. The data did not show normality according to the Shapiro-Wilk test and homogeneity according to the Levene's test. The results were presented from a descriptive analysis. The Chi-square test showed a significant association between the variables muscle weakness or fatigue and dyspnea (p <0.05). It was observed that the participants, especially women, reported performance loss. As COVID-19 is a little-known health condition, deeper analyzes should be carried out to highlight its consequences, especially in longitudinal studies.
