The short- and long-term impacts of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection have become a challenge for promoting health recovery actions for COVID-19 survivors. Over the past 2 years, the COVID-19 pandemic has been a cause of significant global morbidity and mortality ( Hopkins, 2022). Given lower physical conditioning among all the groups, proposals for recovering from health conditions are urgent and indispensable for COVID-19 survivors. Volume and intensity of exercise prescription should respect the physiologic adaptation. Monitoring HR, SpO 2, and blood pressure are necessary during rehabilitation to avoid possible physical complications. Based on these results, proposals for cardiopulmonary rehabilitation are indispensable for hospitalized groups considering the responses of blood pressure. Diastolic blood pressure was significantly higher at the tenth and fifteenth minute post-Bruce test in hospitalized than in non-hospitalized participants ( p < 0.05). After the cardiorespiratory test, higher values for peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO 2) were observed for non-hospitalized individuals than for all hospitalized individuals ( p < 0.05). Significantly higher values for distance, ventilation, and the relationship between respiratory quotient were found for non-hospitalized individuals compared to hospitalized individuals and those in the ICU ( p < 0.05). Significantly higher values were found for heart rate (HR) and peak oxygen consumption (VO 2peak) for individuals who were not hospitalized when compared to those hospitalized in the ICU ( p < 0.05). Hospitalized individuals had significantly higher values for fat mass and body fat percentage than non-hospitalized individuals ( p < 0.05). After 24 h, a cardiorespiratory test was performed using the Bruce protocol, with a direct gas exchange analysis. First, a medical consultation was carried out, with subsequent measurement of body weight and height (calculation of body mass index) and body composition assessment via electrical bioimpedance. Two laboratory visits were carried out 24 h apart. 171 volunteers of both sexes (men, n = 93 and women, n = 78) between 19 and 65 years old were allocated into three groups according to the severity of their symptoms of COVID-19: non-hospitalized people/mild symptoms ( n = 61), hospitalized ( n = 58), and hospitalized in an intensive care unit-ICU ( n = 52). The present study aimed to evaluate the body composition and cardiorespiratory fitness of overweight or obese people after COVID-19. 9Physiology and Nutrition Department, Clinisport Prime, Maringa, Brazil.8Research Centre of Physical Activity, Health and Leisure, Faculty of Sports Laboratory for Integrative and Translational Research in Population Health (ITR), University of Porto, Porto, Portugal.7Sports Coach Career, School of Education, Universidad Viña del Mar, Viña del Mar, Chile.6Department of Physical Activity Sciences, Faculty of Education Sciences, Universidad Católica del Maule, Talca, Chile.5Department of Physical Education, State University of Londrina, Londrina, Brazil.4Department of Physical Education, State University of Maringá, Maringá, Brazil.3Medicine Course, Department of Health Sciences, Cesumar University, Maringá, Brazil.2Postgraduate Program in Health Promotion, Cesumar University, Paraná, Brazil.1Interdisciplinary Laboratory of Intervention in Health Promotion, Cesumar Institute of Science, Maringá, Brazil.Maurício Medeiros Lemos 1,2, Gustavo Rocha Cavalini 1,3, Carlos Renato Pugliese Henrique 1,3, Victor Augusto Santos Perli 1,3, Glória de Moraes Marchiori 3, Luciana Lozza de Moraes Marchiori 1, Ana Flávia Sordi 1, Solange Marta Franzói de Moraes 4, Solange de Paula Ramos 5, Pablo Valdés-Badilla 6,7, Jorge Mota 8 and Braulio Henrique Magnani Branco 1,2,3,8,9*
