Complications after COVID-19

COVID-19 is a disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus that has significantly affected the lives of many people around the world. Some people who have had the disease continue to struggle with its effects long after they are cured. Convalescents complain, among other things, of shortness of breath occurring during physical exertion and various types of pain. Usually, people struggling with this type of consequence of the disease are recommended breathing exercises and light training. However, recovery after the COVID-19 disease is individual for each person, and the introduction of exercises should take place gradually, with the intensity individually tailored to the patient.

Cardiovascular problems

People with a history of COVID-19 may feel tired quickly during even a small effort. This is often related to cardiovascular problems that occur in many convalescents, otherwise known as post-covid cardiac syndrome. Its symptoms, in addition to shortness of breath on exertion, include palpitations, dizziness, and chest pain. Symptoms of this type may not allow you to use a conventional bicycle. However, riding an electric bike can be recommended due to the fact that it allows you to adjust the intensity of physical effort to the individual preferences and capabilities of the cyclist.

Riding E-bike

Get back to full fitness with an e-bike

According to the recommendations of the World Health Organization, included in the brochure "Support in self-rehabilitation after a disease related to COVID-19", fitness exercises can help in a quick recovery after a disease caused by SARS-CoV-2. The WHO recommends exercise, gradually increasing the intensity. Electric bikes come in handy here, as they allow the user to choose the level of pedaling assistance appropriately suited to his abilities. Adjusting the pace of exercise, according to the WHO, allows you to train your body and mind in a regular and controlled way. JOBOBIKE electric bikes, depending on the model, have 5 or 3 levels of support. They are therefore ideal for people who want to have control over the intensity of their training.

Clean air as a way to improve health

Many cities are "sinking" in exhaust fumes. If their inhabitants switched from cars to bicycles, the quality of the air we breathe would improve significantly, and thus the health of many people would improve. In addition to purely social or individual benefits, an electric bike creates new opportunities to cover longer distances with the same level of effort as when riding a traditional bike. The advent of e-bikes on the market made many people who had previously avoided this type of activity get on bikes.

The benefits of riding an e-bike are significant in the context of recovering from the coronavirus disease, both as a social distancing measure and as part of fitness training.

It should be remembered that methods of getting back in shape after COVID-19 should be consulted with a doctor each time.
