A major consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic has been the emergence of post-COVID syndrome (PCS), and more specifically, post-COVID fatigue (pCF), with an estimated prevalence of [~]2%. We previously showed that, compared to healthy controls, people with pCF exhibit changes in muscle physiology, cortical circuitry, and autonomic function. Here we present results from a cohort of people with pCF (N=145), between 12 weeks and 45 months post-infection. We report self-perception of fatigue; objecti...
