Abstract

We compared 23 unvaccinated to 15 vaccinated patients previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 in terms of their aerobic capacity measured by a cardio pulmonary exercise test (CPET).

Our results suggest objective limitations to exercise capacity in the months following acute COVID19 illness, mitigated by vaccination
