Complications caused by corona disease include a wide range of physical and mental problems, which in some cases may continue for weeks or months after recovery. The aim of this study was to investigated the effect of an aerobic training course on some metabolic indicators, quality of life and general health of women recovered from corona disease.

The current research was applied and semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design comparing the two groups. The statistical population of the present study consisted of 30- to 45-year-old women in Bonab city.

The experimental group performed the training protocol for 12 weeks, including warm-up, treadmill training and stretching breathing exercises. Obesity indices, blood pressure, maximal aerobic capacity, quality of life questionnaire, metabolic indices and general health were evaluated.

Aerobic exercise has a significant role in improving metabolic parameters, quality of life and general health of the experimental group. Moreover, the total cholesterol, LDL, Fasting glucose, insulin resistance, general health (GHQ), quality of life, body fat mass, lean body mass, body mass index (BMI), aerobic power, arterial oxygen saturation level were significantly different from the control group (P<0.05). Also based on the results between HDL, fat percentage, resting blood pressure, resting heart rate There was no significant difference with the control group after the 12 weeks of intervention (P>0.05).
