Sedentary behaviour and level of physical activity among people with post COVID-19 condition: associated factors and changes over time.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To explore the associations between daily time in sedentary behaviour (SED) and physical activity (PA) with perceived physical capacity, health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and fatigue in persons with post COVID-19 condition (PCC). An additional objective was to describe changes in SED and PA levels over three months.

Materials and methods

Individuals with PCC self-reported on physical capacity, HRQoL and fatigue. Accelerometers were used to assess daily SED and light (L), or moderate/vigorous (MV) PA, and data were collected during seven consecutive days at two assessments occasions three months apart. Spearman's rho and Wilcoxon signed rank test were applied in data analyses.

Results

Fifteen individuals with PCC were included, all women with a mean age
