Study population: The population of the study is healthy individuals whose physical activity level was determined according to the results of the International Physical Activity Questionnare (IPAQ).

Brief summary: The COVID-19 pandemic started in China towards the end of 2019 and soon affected the whole world. Restriction and isolation measures have been taken to prevent the spread of this disease caused by a new type of coronavirus, coronavirus-2. These measures have changed people's physical activity levels and have also affected other parameters that physical activity affects. This study aims comparison of clinical parameters in with different physical activity levels during the COVID-19 pandemic period.

Detailed description: In our study, the investigators aimed to compare balance, exercise capacity, sleep quality and coronavirus phobia levels and investigate the relationship between exercise capacity and balance in individuals with different physical activity levels during the COVID-19 pandemic period.

Materials and Methods of the Research:

The place of study: Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Unit of Hacettepe University Faculty of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation.

Time of the study: It is planned to collect data and write the study between February 2021 and February 2022.

Research Population, Sample, Research Group:

The population of the study is healthy individuals whose physical activity level was determined according to the results of the International Physical Activity Questionnare (IPAQ).

The sample of the study is healthy individuals whose physical activity level is inactive and minimally/heavily active according to the results of the International Physical Activity Questionnare (IPAQ).
