Conclusion: Submaximal 2-day CPET demonstrated a reduction in oxygen uptake, oxygen pulse and partial pressure of end tidal carbon dioxide, suggesting dysfunctional oxygen transport, utilisation or both may contribute to Long COVID symptoms.

And just like that we have completed the last patient visit in Derby for @ERASE_LC A patient-led study with @DerbyUni @UHDBTrust @Pen_CTU and @UniofExeter seeking to help people with #LongCovid Thanks to everyone, especially the participants who gave so much to this work.

A new preprint from our @DerbyUni x @StellenboschUni Long COVID research team has now been published. Findings suggest that exercise may worsen symptoms in Long COVID due to microclot fragmentation. [link to preprint]: researchsquare.com/article/r…

Conclusion: Exercise-induced fragmentation of fibrinaloid microclots may reduce oxygen transport and drive inflammation; providing a potential mechanism for PESE in Long COVID. We hope these findings inform safer rehabilitation approaches.
