Physical activity (PA) has recognized health benefits, including reducing the risks of chronic diseases and mortality. During the pandemic, a general decline in PA was measured, but the profile of the various components of PA and sedentariness in patients with PEM resulting from post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS-19) remains scarce. It is relevant to observe the impact of these discomforts on PQ after their occurrence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study examines the detailed PA and sedentary profile of individuals affected by PEM associated with PCS-19.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>An online questionnaire disseminated via social media platform evaluated PA and sedentariness before and after COVID-19 diagnostic.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Individuals with PEM (n\u2009=\u2009154) became more sedentary and inactive post-COVID-19. Specifically, PA at work decreased in women and those whose last infection occurred over a year ago. Walk decreased for women but increased for men. Bike journeys generally decreased after COVID-19. The severity of PEM, the pace of recovery, and fear of malaise influenced PA changes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The PCS-19 leads to increased sedentary behavior and a decline in PA, particularly at work, and is more pronounced among women and those more severely affected by PEM.
