To investigate the effects of aerobic exercise program on physical activity, aerobic capacity, anxiety& depression in Covid-19 survivors discharged from Intensive Care Unit. There is evidence in the literature that post-intensive case survivors who have been mechanically ventilated will likely experience short- and medium-term consequences in the form of Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS).
The notion that patients surviving intensive care and mechanical ventilation for several weeks can be discharged home without further medical attention is a dangerous illusion. Post-Intensive Care Syndrome and other severe conditions will require not only adequate screening but early rehabilitation and other interventions. So, this focused control trial will contribute particularly to determining the Effects of the Aerobic Exercise Program in Covid-19 Survivors with Post-Intensive Care Syndrome.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Hospital Anxiety and Depression | Changes from baseline till 6 weeks, Assessed through Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS): Questionnaire comprises seven questions for anxiety and seven questions for depression, and takes 2-5min to complete. Scoring is as followed: 0-7 = Normal 8-10 = Borderline abnormal (borderline case) 11-21 = Abnormal (case) | 6 weeks |
| 6 min walk test: Distance (meters) | Changes from the baseline till the 6th week, 6 min walk test (6 MWT) was used to measure Functional capacity. It is a submaximal exercise test that can aid in assessing the functional capacity of patients with cardiopulmonary diseases, in this test we find out the maximum distance in meters that an individual covers in 6 min without any support. | 6 weeks |
