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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (7)

• Exercise Capacity

  The 1 minute sit-to-stand test is one of the tests that evaluates exercise capacity.In this test, the number of sitting and standing repetitions in a chair for 1 minute is recorded. Heart rate, shortness of breath, and fatigue perceptions will be recorded before and after the test.

  March,2021- August,2021

• Physical Activity

  The International Physical Activity Questionnare (IPAQ)- Short form assesses the level of physical activity.The short form consists of seven questions. It provides information on sitting, walking, moderately vigorous activities, and time spent in vigorous activities.

  March,2021- August,2021

• Cognitive Function

  The standardized mini mental test is a test that evaluates the suitability of individuals' cognitive functions for tele-assessment. It consists of eleven items gathered under five main headings: orientation, recording memory, attention and calculation, recall and language.

  March,2021- August,2021
