Özet:

 Aim: Post-Covid syndrome PCS is a condition that becomes chronic after the acute phase of Covid-19 and affects systems such as respiratory, cardiovascular, nervous, and musculoskeletal, and negatively affects patients quality of life QoL. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of calisthenics exercises on QoL in patients with PCS. Method: A total of 176 patients male: 82, female: 94 with PCS were included and randomized to therapist-supervised and home exercise groups in this study. The calisthenics exercise program was carried out for eight weeks in both groups. QoL was assessed by the European Quality of Life 5-Dimensional 3-Level EQ-5D-3L questionnaire at baseline and after eight weeks. Results: Significant improvements were obtained in all parameters of the EQ-5D-3L scale, including mobility, self-care, usual activities, paindiscomfort, anxietydepression and general health score p0.05 in both therapist-supervised and home exercise groups. When therapist-supervised and home exercise groups were compared in terms of EQ-5D-3L, no significant difference was found between these groups p0.05. Conclusion: Calisthenics exercises cause a significant increase in the QoL in patients with Post-Covid syndrome when administered both as a therapist-supervised and home exercise program.

 Amaç: Post-Kovid sendromu PKS, Covid-19un akut fazından sonra kronikleşen, solunum, kardiyovasküler, sinir ve kas-iskelet sistemlerini etkileyen ve hastaların yaşam kalitesini olumsuz yönde etkileyen bir durumdur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, PKSli hastalarda kalistenik egzersizlerin yaşam kalitesi üzerindeki etkisini araştırmaktır. Yöntem: Bu çalışmaya toplam 176 PKSli hasta erkek: 82, kadın: 94 dahil edilmiş ve terapist gözetiminde ve evde egzersiz gruplarına randomize edilmiştir. Her iki grupta da sekiz hafta boyunca kalistenik egzersiz programı uygulandı. Yaşam kalitesi, başlangıçta ve sekiz hafta sonra Avrupa Yaşam Kalitesi 5 Boyutlu 3 Seviye EQ-5D-3L anketi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: EQ-5D-3L ölçeğinin mobilite, öz bakım, olağan aktiviteler, ağrırahatsızlık, anksiyetedepresyon ve genel sağlık skorunu içeren tüm parametrelerinde hem terapist gözetiminde hem de evde egzersiz gruplarında anlamlı iyileşmeler elde edildi p0.05. Terapist gözetimindeki ve ev egzersiz grupları EQ-5D-3L açısından karşılaştırıldığında, bu gruplar arasında anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır p0.05. Sonuç: Kalistenik egzersizler hem terapist gözetiminde hem de evde egzersiz programı olarak uygulandığında Post-Covid sendromlu hastalarda yaşam kalitesinde anlamlı bir artışa neden olmaktadır.
