In this comparative cross-sectional study, we compare the physical performance among post-COVID and non-COVID subjects. A sample of 64 subjects recovered from COVID-19 and 64 subjects who were not infected with COVID-19 were recruited for the study. Both groups were tested for physical performance by 30-s sit-to-stand test, 6-min walk test, and HUMAC balance system. The findings of the present study reveal that there was a significant difference in physical performance between both the groups. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that physical performance is impaired in the post-COVID subjects as compared to the matched non-COVID subjects. Therefore, physical therapy exercise program/regimen should be a part of recovery from COVID-19.
