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 combination of supervised exercise and cognitive training—focused on memory, attention, and mental function—can help people with long COVID feel better and function more effectively. Long COVID refers to symptoms that persist for weeks or months after a COVID-19 infection, especially in people who also have chronic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. The study will compare this active rehabilitation program to people who receive educational information about managing their symptoms.
Many people recovering from COVID-19 experience persistent fatigue, breathing difficulties, brain fog, and other disabling symptoms, especially if they have underlying health conditions. Current care relies mainly on information and advice, but researchers want to know if active rehabilitation—combining physical exercise with targeted brain training—could help people recover faster and improve their quality of life.

If you are assigned to the exercise and brain-training group, you would attend one session per week for 8 weeks at the study location. Each session lasts 90 minutes: the first hour includes supervised exercise (warm-up, aerobic activity, strength training, and cool-down), and the remaining 30 minutes focuses on cognitive exercises guided by a therapist to help with memory and attention. If you are assigned to the educational support group, you would receive evidence-based informational messages via email or text once a week for 8 weeks instead. Throughout the study, researchers will measure your physical fitness, cognitive function, quality of life, and overall health.
