This study aimed to measure and compare CRF levels between COVID-19-infected adults with asymptomatic and mild symptoms.Methods. The participants in this study included 50 adult men, who were further divided into 2 equal categories: mild symp-tomatic (MS) and asymptomatic (AS) groups. These participants received a series of anthropometry and Rockport 1.5-mile run tests. During the Rockport 1.5-mile run test, their heart rate (HR) was continuously monitored using a Polar V800 GPS. Following this test, Borg’s CR10-scale rating of perceived exertion (RPE) was employed.Results. One-way ANOVA statistical test results showed a significant difference (p = 0.007, ES = 0.140) between the MS and AS groups, where the VO2max in the AS group, was greater than the MS group (35.7 ± 7.1 vs 29.6 ± 8.4 ml/kg/min).Conclusions. Asymptomatic patients had a higher VO2max level than mildly symptomatic patients. Therefore, moderate-inten-sity exercise was recommended to increase CRF, thereby enhancing immunity and reducing the risk of contracting COVID-19.}, type={artykuł}, title={Differences between cardiorespiratory fitness in adult men with asymptomatic or mild SARS-COV-2 infections}, keywords={cardiovascular system cardiology, respiratory system pulmonology, sport physiotherapy}, }
