About

Chronic fatigue, weakness, dyspnea, headaches, cognitive dysfunction, stress, sadness, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and orthostatic intolerance are among the symptoms of acute Covid-19 in patients, and these symptoms persist for more than 12 weeks after recovery.

Full description

Therapeutic exercises are an evidence-based method for the maintenance of musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and neurological well-being and the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases. The effects of therapeutic exercises on the human body varied according to the frequency, intensity, duration and type of exercise.

Increasing physiological and psychological recovery after exercise can lead to results such as better performance and reducing the risk of injury. Therefore, various methods are used to facilitate post-exercise recovery.

The best-known and most widely used post-exercise recovery method is active cooling, also known as active rest or cool-down. Active cooling; It is defined as any activity that includes voluntary, low/moderate intensity exercise or movement performed within one hour of exercise. Passive rest, on the other hand, is defined as no or minimal voluntary/intentional exercise movement.
