We’re faced with a different set of issues that we do not know about exercise after recovering from COVID-19. What is scientific background in this case? How can non-athletes apply different exercise routine to get back in good physical fitness? Where is the gap for optimal intensity and type of workout? Is there a guideline or standardized prescription with scientific approach?
Can training in a training intensity commensurate with the person’s age. For young and middle-aged people, they are possible to start with a moderate intensity, but for the elderly, it is recommended to start with a light intensity?
Dear Dragan, the following papers will help you with that question:

Can training in a training intensity commensurate with the person’s age. For young and middle-aged people, they are possible to start with a moderate intensity, but for the elderly, it is recommended to start with a light intensity?
I think that mild-moderate 45-minute exercise 3 days a week has positive effects on COVID 19 with its immunomodulator and anti-inflammatory properties.
It depends on the severity of the disease. In the mild form of the disease, the athlete can train at near-intensity and duration before the COVID-19. But after a severe type of Covid, the athlete should start with moderate intensity.
It depends on the severity of the disease and intensity of the exercise should be increase progressively. I recommend these papers:
