Résumé

Severe COVID-19 infection leads to profound pulmonary, cardiovascular, and neuromuscular impairments, resulting in marked exercise deconditioning and reduced functional walking capacity after hospital discharge. Eccentric cycling offers high mechanical load with low metabolic cost and may therefore represent a relevant rehabilitation strategy to restore functional capacity in people after COVID-19.
