Abstract Reduced heart rate variability (HRV) and fatigue are common after COVID‐19 infection both potentially influenced by physical activity (PA). We compared resting HRV, PA from accelerometers questionnaires, self‐reported in 41 survivors (~8 months postinfection, 38 ± 17 years) with matched controls. Differences HRV were observed on acceleration capacity ( p = 0.041), deceleration 0.032), high‐frequency peak frequency 0.019), absolute low‐frequency power 0.042), relative very 0.012),...
