This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether cardiac rehabilitation—a structured exercise and education program typically used after heart problems—can help people with Long COVID who struggle with low heart rates during exercise. Researchers want to see if 12 weeks of supervised cardiac rehabilitation can improve how well your heart responds to physical activity and how much exercise you can tolerate.
Some people with Long COVID have a condition where their heart rate doesn't increase properly during exercise, which limits their ability to be active. This trial exists to find out if standard cardiac rehabilitation can safely help restore normal heart rate responses and exercise capacity in this population.

If you enroll, you will have baseline measurements taken (including blood work and exercise testing) to understand your current heart function. You'll then participate in 12 weeks of standard cardiac rehabilitation, which typically includes supervised exercise sessions and education about heart health. After the 12-week program, you'll return for follow-up testing to see whether your heart rate response and exercise capacity have improved. You'll also be asked to join an ongoing Long COVID research study to provide additional health information.
