The long-term effects of COVID-19 Post-acute sequelase of the coronavirus disease 2019 can impact overall functioning and reduce physical fitness, thereby raising significant public health concerns, especially for individuals involved in physically demanding jobs. Marines who were enrolled in the original CHARM study attended follow up visits every six months after they completed the recruit training for the U.S. Marine Corps. Only study participants on active duty were included in the analysis.
The fitness metrics used in the current study were based on fitness data obtained from the U.S. Marine Corps, which includes results from physical fitness tests, marksmanship assessments, and combat fitness tests. These tests, which are mandatory for all marines, are conducted during recruit training and annually thereafter. Test results of a reference cohort from 2016 to 2019 were used for comparison.
IgG antibodies to the nucleocapsid protein were used to confirm prior SARS-CoV-2 infection. Electronic health records were also used to determine whether the participants had completed the two-dose messenger ribonucleic acid vaccine regimen.
