SUMMARY:

During the COVID-19 pandemic, it was noticed that the symptoms of the disease can be

persistent even in mild cases and can influence the quality of life and functional capacity of

patients, generating a new demand for health units. Thus, the objective of this study was to

evaluate the correlation between quality of life and functional capacity after recovery from

COVID-19 in individuals treated at a rehabilitation center. The study presented a

cross-sectional approach. The study included 28 adults treated at a rehabilitation center in

Divinópolis-MG. Data were collected through interviews with the application of the SF-36

questionnaire and six-minute walk and hoop tests. Of the sample, 70% were female, 53%

reported never having practiced physical activity and 50% required hospitalization. The

quality of life and functional capacity scores were compared between the groups with and

without a history of hospitalization, with and without a history of physical activity, and the

correlation between the functional capacity tests and the SF-36 domains was tested. The

group with a history of hospitalization had worse general health status (p=0,020) and the

group that practiced physical activity before the infection had better functional capacity scores

(P=0,028). No correlations were found between the SF-36 domains and the functional

capacity tests ((r≤0,341;p≥0,075). As main conclusions, this study shows that contagion by

the virus that causes COVID-19 can cause greater damage to the quality of life in individuals

who needed hospitalization when compared to those who did not. The constant practice of

physical activity can contribute to higher levels of functional capacity in the post-contagion

period and, finally, it is suggested that functional capacity is not related to the quality of life of

individuals.
