Summary

This trial will investigate whether a home-based, supervised, group exercise tele-rehabilitation can help Veterans recovered from COVID-19 with their cardiopulmonary and physical function.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Veterans who had COVID-19 over 90 days ago, with a BMI over 30 and at least one comorbidity like hypertension or diabetes. It's not for those with recent heart attacks, uncontrolled health issues like severe diabetes or high blood pressure, or anyone already doing regular structured exercise.
What is being tested?
The study tests a home-based group exercise program delivered through tele-rehabilitation to improve cardiopulmonary and physical function in Veterans who have recovered from COVID-19.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves exercise, potential side effects may include muscle soreness, fatigue, and increased risk of injury. Specific risks will depend on individual health conditions.
