Based on the researches carried out, it can be concluded that physical therapy rehabilitation through resources such as: thresold (linear pressure load device), RPPI (intermittent positive pressure breathing), manual resuscitator and resistance exercises can improve cardiorespiratory capacity and promote greater tolerance to the reconditioning of Post-Covid 19 patients, consequently improving their quality of life.
