(A–I) $\dot{V}$ o₂ during an incremental cycle exercise test (A), and heart rate (B), ventilation (C), tidal volume (D), breathing frequency (E), inspiratory capacity (F), inspiratory reserve volume (G), breathlessness intensity (H), and leg discomfort (I) for a given $\dot{V}$ o₂% predicted in hospitalized and nonhospitalized patients with COVID-19 3–4 months after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Data presented at rest, iso-work rate (highest equivalent work rate completed by all patients within each group), and peak exercise. Values are mean ± standard error of the mean. COVID-19 = coronavirus disease; SARS-CoV-2 = severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2; TLC = total lung capacity; $\dot{V}$ o₂ = oxygen consumption.
