Efficacy of Baduanjin Exercise in COVID-19 Contraction Patients With Idiopathic Chronic Fatigue

Sponsor: Cairo University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Post-COVID recovery is associated with reduced functional fitness/capacity, low quality of life, and physical disabilities in those who survived after contracting the disease. The unpleasant symptoms of chronic post-viral/post-COVID syndrome (chronic fatigue perception, variant nonspecific myalgia, bad mood or depression, and insomnia or sleep disturbances) usually magnify the symptoms of already existing previously diagnosed concurrent untreatable chronic disorders , including the idiopathic chronic fatigue (ICF).(Leszczak et al., 2024) Baduanjin exercise training (BET) is one of the Chinese traditional Health-Qigong exercises that not only integrate slow coordinating postures/positions, breathing techniques, musculoskeletal stretching movements/positions, and meditative mind but also plays a strong role concerning health benefits (e.g. musculoskeletal pain-reducing, sleep disturbance-enhancing effects, and fatigue-reducing effects) (Zou et al., 2018).

Baduanjin exercise training (BET)

Baduanjin Exercise Training (BET) is a traditional Chinese exercise focused on improving physical health, flexibility, balance, and mental well-being. It involves a 10-minute warm-up, a 40-minute core session practicing eight distinct postures, and a 10-minute cool-down. The postures, based on the Baduanjin form, target different body parts and promote strength, flexibility, and circulation. The exercises are synchronized with deep breathing to enhance relaxation and stress reduction. BET is especially beneficial for joint health, mobility, and mental clarity, making it suitable for individuals of all ages and fitness levels
