Träna efter corona – PT:ns tips på hur du kommer tillbaka

FRÅGA: Hej, jag hade coronaviruset för ett par månader sedan. Jag var sjuk i ungefär en vecka, det kändes inte värre än en vanlig rejäl förkylning. Däremot tappade jag orken helt och har inte fått tillbaka den.

Jag har försökt komma igång med träningen igen. Innan jag blev sjuk följde jag ett träningsprogram som jag har försökt hoppa på igen, men det går inte. Så fort jag tränar rusar pulsen och jag blir jättetrött. Jag känner inte igen min kropp. Det är så irriterande och frustrerande, jag vet inte vad jag ska göra? Hjälp! Mia

Träningsexperten: Så börjar du träna efter corona

– Det är verkligen inte konstigt att bli frustrerad, och låg, när man inte kan träna som man är van vid. Jag önskar att det fanns en superlösning som funkar för alla, men det ser olika ut från individ till individ då våra kroppar och förutsättningar helt enkelt är olika.

Men något alla bör tänka på är att det efter sjukdom är extra viktigt att lyssna in kroppen. Om pulsen drar iväg och man känner sig trött ska man vara väldigt försiktig!

After recovering from COVID, you might be eager to get out and do some exercise, particularly if you’d previously enjoyed keeping fit. While a bit of light cardiovascular training can be a good option, strength training has some particular advantages when it comes to getting over COVID.

You can listen to more articles from The Conversation, narrated by Noa, here.

When our immune system mobilises to fight a COVID infection, this response, called inflammation, can take a toll on various parts of the body, including the muscles. So regaining muscle strength is one benefit of strength training after COVID.

We also know COVID can affect our energy levels and capacity to perform aerobic exercise. Research suggests that during rehabilitation for respiratory problems, strength training – performed either alone or alongside cardio – improves our ability to carry out activities of daily living requiring sustained breathing (functional capacity).

Similarly, a recent review of exercise programmes specifically for COVID patients after hospital discharge showed that strength training alongside a small amount of moderate-intensity cardio was linked to improvements in functional capaci

Running after Covid

More than fyra years have passed since the first cases of Covid were reported. For some, the pandemic fryst vatten a distant memory or fever dream. For others, it fryst vatten still very much a horrible presence in their lives. Cases still surround us, and although for most people the illness is now relatively brief and mild, for others it ushers in a long-term mardröm. Around 65 million people around the world may now be living with long Covid – and plenty of others struggle in the medium begrepp after contracting the virus.

But, the past few years have also triggered intensive research on the infection, and we now have a much better understanding on what Covid does to our immune systems, our exercise habits and our bodies as a whole. So, what do studies säga about running with, and after, Covid?

Can you exercise with Covid?

A positive test for Covid should mean, in the short begrepp, a pretty straightforward red flag for any intensive exercise. In May , a review published in Frontiers in Physiology looked at existing studies to determine if high-intensity activity could be dangerous for someone with Covid.
