Introduction: The cardioprotective effects associated with higher levels of cardiorespiratory fitness are well established, and it is known that, over the past 30 years, research has demonstrated the many benefits of high cardiorespiratory fitness in reducing the risk of the most prevalent noncommunicable diseases, including diseases such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, and various forms of cancer. Objective: The main objective of this research was to determine the effects of supervised physical exercise on cardiovascular risk factors in patients diagnosed with post-Covid19. Methodology: The approach used was descriptive of a longitudinal cohort, which included men and women with a mean age of 29-31 years; aspects related to physical, anthropometric and basic hemodynamic condition were evaluated. Population: Non-probabilistic for convenience, who has had Covid19. Results: Regarding the improvements, the most significant were: VO2max (p=0,000), pre- and post-BMI (p=0,000), and respiratory rate (p=0,001), which open a spectrum to new research with larger population groups. Conclusions: The results reveal significant changes in aspects related to cardiovascular risk factors for this population, confirming the need to maintain previously planned and well-directed levels of physical activity in this population group.
