Despite that, many individuals are concerned about vaccinating against COVID-19 for several reasons. The aim of the eight-week intervention study, known as the »PostCovSwim« project, was to compare the impact of vaccination status against COVID-19 (vaccinated: n = 48, mean age 55 years, vs. unvaccinated: n = 15, mean age 45 years) on the results of selected physical cardiorespiratory fitness tests in people after COVID-19. The study used a 6-minute brisk walk test and a 50- and 100-meter swim test. We used medically approved body composition analyzers to measure subjects' body composition and recorded their blood oxygen saturation, heart rate, and self-reported COVID-19 illness. After statistical adjustment for age, a comparison between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals who survived COVID-19 showed a significant difference in 6-minute walk test scores, with unvaccinated individuals performing better. The results of the swimming test were similar. It is important to interpret these results with caution due to the small sample size and higher number of COVID-19 infections among the unvaccinated group. Although there is a belief that vaccination against COVID-19 may be associated with a decline in cardiorespiratory fitness, the age difference between the groups raises the possibility that older vaccinated individuals may also have had more underlying health problems, a potentially more severe experience with COVID-19, and different levels of baseline physical fitness. These factors, as we know, have an adverse effect on the expression of cardiorespiratory fitnessOkužba z novim koronavirusom SARS-CoV-2 oz. razvoj koronavirusne bolezni covid- 19 in njene posledice, kot je sindrom dolgotrajnega covida-19 (post covid-19), lahko pomembno neugodno vplivajo na različne vidike življenja posameznika. Kljub temu imajo številni zaradi različnih razlogov pomisleke glede cepljenja proti covidu- 19. Namen osemtedenske intervencijske raziskave, znane kot projekt »PostCovSwim «, je bil primerjati povezanost statusa cepljenja proti covidu-19 (cepljeni: n = 48, povprečna starost 55 let proti necepljenim: n = 15, povprečna starost 45 let) pri prebolevnikih s sindromom dolgotrajnega covida-19 na podlagi rezultatov izbranih testov kardiorespiratornega fitnesa. Uporabljene metode so bile 6-minutni test hitre hoje ter test plavanja na 50 metrov in 100 metrov. Preiskovancem smo z medicinsko overjenim analizatorjem telesne sestave izmerili še telesno sestavo, nasičenost krvi s kisikom (saturacija) in srčni utrip ter zabeležili samoporočano število prebolelosti covida- 19. Rezultati primerjave med cepljenimi in necepljenimi prebolevniki v povezavi s sindromom dolgotrajnega covida-19, ki so bili statistično prilagojeni na starost, so pokazali značilno razliko pri rezultatu 6-minutnega testa hitre hoje (necepljeni hitrejši), ne pa tudi pri obeh testih plavanja. Pridobljene rezultate je treba interpretirati s previdnostjo, ker gre za majhno število preiskovancev, necepljeni preiskovanci pa so imeli značilno več okužb s covidom-19. Kljub prepričanju, da je cepljenje proti covidu-19 povezano s poslabšanjem kardiorespiratornega fitnesa, starostna razlika med primerjanima skupinama dopušča špekulacijo, da so starejši preiskovanci, čeprav cepljeni, lahko imeli tudi večji delež pridruženih bolezni, potencialno nezabeležen težji potek in različno trajanje posledic sindroma dolgotrajnega covida-19 pa tudi različne ravni osnovne telesne pripravljenosti. Ti dejavniki, kot vemo, neugodno vplivajo na izraznost kardiorespiratornega fitnesaTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Fakulteta za šport
