Correlation between long-COVID and physical inactivity

In a recent study under review at the Scientific Reports journal and posted to the Research Square* preprint server, researchers assessed whether physical inactivity in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) survivors led to the development of post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC), also known as long-COVID.
