Reduced exercise capacity and several limiting symptoms during exercise have been reported following severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus‐2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) infection. From clinical observations, we hypothesized that an abnormal breathing pattern (BrP) during exercise may be common in these pat...
