Abstract: Post-covid syndrome has become increasingly present, post-infection symptoms have appeared in a variety of ways, affecting the functionality and performance of individuals. Knowing and evaluating the main tests that determine functional capacity is essential. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the interrelationship between functional tests in the evaluation of individuals post-COVID-19 infection and their sensitivities as an evaluation tool in this population. This is a cross-sectional study with survivors of COVID-19. 50 volunteers who tested positive for COVID-19 were included, of which 25 (50%) required hospital admission and 25 (50%) did not require hospitalization. The results correlating the 6MWT and the TSL (r= 0.4668) and TUG (r= -0.4876) tests showed moderate correlation strength and significant p (p<0.05). In conclusion, there is a significant correlation between the functional tests TC6, TSL1 and TUG.
