Brief Summary

Physical inactivity is widespread among young adults due to different disasters like the COVID-19 and earthquakes. On the other hand, it is unknown how physical activity level affects cough strength and balance in young adults. In current study, it was aimed to investigate both cough strength, physical activity and balance status in young adults and the relationship between these parameters.
