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 a gentle exercise program called Baduanjin can help people who are experiencing long-lasting fatigue after COVID-19. Baduanjin is an ancient form of exercise based on flowing body postures and movements. Half of the participants will do the 12-week exercise program, while the other half will be on a waiting list, so researchers can compare how both groups feel afterward.
Many people struggle with lingering exhaustion and fatigue months after having COVID-19, and current treatments don't always help. This trial wants to see if this gentle movement-based exercise can offer real relief for people dealing with this long-term tiredness.

If you're chosen for the exercise group, you'll attend supervised sessions 6 days a week (except Fridays) for 12 weeks. Each 60-minute session includes a 10-minute warm-up, 40 minutes of Baduanjin movements (eight gentle postures you'll learn), and a 10-minute cool-down. If you're in the comparison group, you'll be placed on a waiting list and won't receive the program during the study period. Researchers will measure how you feel before, during, and after the program to see if the exercise helps with your fatigue.
