Objectives: There is little information about the influence of persistent or long- COVID COVID syndrome on the degree of physical activity and the development of long-term fragility in patients hospitalized for severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. Our main objective was to analyze the level of physical activity and the degree of longterm fragility presented by long-COVID-diagnosed patients and compare it with patients with similar characteristics recovered and asymptomatic after admission. Methods: A transversal study was conducted in follow-up patients in post-COVID consultation, who were admitted to the General University Hospital of Elche for COVID-19. Among all follow-up patients, a group of patients diagnosed with persistent COVID was randomly selected and compared with another group of asymptomatic patients with similar characteristics, matched by age, sex, comorbility and severity of Covid-19 by Propensity Score. To evaluate the persistence of symptoms, a telematic visit was scheduled at the 3 months of the discharge, where patients were contacted to assess the persistance and intensity of general, neuropsychiatric, respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms through clinical interview and clinical history review, evaluating the intensity in mild, moderate or severe symptoms. Persistent COVID or long-COVID was defined according to WHO criteria, as the persistence of symptoms beyond 3 months, with a duration of at least 2 months and without an alternative cause, after an infection with SARS-CoV-2. To evaluate physical activity, the validated Y-PAS questionnaire was used, obtaining the level of physical activity and energy expenditure, and two scales were used for the degree of fragility, the Frail scale and the Fried scale Results: 262 patients from the post-COVID consultation were included, 131 with long-Covid diagnosis and another 131 asymptomatic, with complete recovery. Of the persistent COVID group, 104 (79.4%) completed physical activity and fragility surveys, and 90 (68.7%) did so in the asymptomatic group. The most frequent and most intense symptoms in the long-COVID group were general and respiratory followed by neuropsychiatric. Patients in the persistent COVID group had higher energy expenditure (median energy spending 4637,69 kcal/week in the recovering group versus 6472,09 kcal / week in the long-COVID Group [p 0.006]), however, no statistically significant differences were observed in the overall index of physical activity between the two groups. As for the development of fragility, significant differences were observed, with higher levels of frailty and prefragility in the long-COVID group versus the recovered patient group (Frail scale of 12% of fragile patients in the persistent COVID Group versus 9% in the recovery patient group [p 0.031]; Fried scale: 39% of Fragile Patients in the Long-Covid group vs 26% in recovering patients [p 0,039]). Conclusions: An appreciable proportion of patients diagnosed with long-COVID present phenotypes of long-term prefragility and fragility, with a higher level of energy expenditure. No association has been observed between the overall index of physical activity and the diagnosis of long-COVID
