Covid-19 disease is well documented and often the most common symptoms include myalgia and muscle fatigue. Approximately 10% of those infected complain of persistent fatigue even many months after the end of the acute phase of the disease. This gives rise to a condition different from the previous one and commonly known as 'post-acute COVID-19 syndrome' or simply Long-COVID. Although the origin of muscle fatigue is multifactorial, the state of prolonged fatigue observed in the Long-COVID syndrome suggests the existence of a possible state of atrophy or rather acute sarcopenia. Under these conditions, the use of physical activity programs can effectively counteract the state of atrophy underlying the fatigue phenomena observed. If this is also the situation during the Long-COVID, the muscular symptom should be positively influenced by the administration of programmed physical activity cycles. In fact, in patients with Long-COVID, the few published papers seem to indicate that patients who are physically active and who make an effort to engage in physical activity even during the illness have decreased duration and intensity of the illness. However, analysis of the studies in the literature also suggests that a small percentage of people with Long-COVID do not appear to benefit from the application of physical activity programs, so further studies on homogeneous samples are needed to provide a firm answer to the question: can planned physical activity help patients during the pathological course of Long-COVID?

It really doesn't. Not even a bit. It's very easy to find out that this cannot even be the case, trivial to falsify. It's hard to excuse this as even laziness at this point. It's refusing to even look at any of the evidence. This is actually casting doubt on medicine being a proper science. Scientists follow the evidence. This is as ridiculous as talking about recent flooding in the middle of a long drought that didn't see a lick of rain. It should be ridiculed, and yet it never is. In fact it's encouraged to make stuff and be blind to the reality right in front of them. Exactly how much of medicine follows this failed pattern? This is not a fringe issue, it is core to how evidence is built.
