Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

When the literature search is conducted, it is seen that there are many studies examining the effects of COVID-19 disease on individuals in various disease groups (MS, stroke, Parkinson, COPD, asthma, etc.) and age groups (adult, geriatric, etc.). However, it has been determined that there is no study examining the impacts of this disease on functional capacity, physical activity, pulmonary function, emotional state, sleep, and quality of life in healthy young adults. This study will reveal whether COVID-19 disease causes an effect on the mentioned parameters in young adults. The aim of recent study is to investigate functional capacity, respiration, pain, depression, sleep and quality of life in young adults post COVID-19. For this purpose, participants' upper extremity and lower extremity muscle strength, 6-minute walking distance, O2 saturation, posture evaluation, spirometric evaluation, pain threshold, pain intensity, dyspnea, and leg fatigue measurements will be recorded. In addition to these measurements, general fatigue, quality of life, depression, physical activity level, sleep quality parameters will be evaluated and the data obtained will be analyzed with appropriate statistical methods.

The goals of recent work,

* To determine whether COVID-19 disease causes a decrease in functional capacity and changes in respiratory parameters in young adults, as well as to determine whether there are effects such as pain, depression, decreased sleep and quality of life,
* To determine whether there are significant changes in the values of the relevant outcome measurements in all the mentioned parameters,
* As a result of these, to determine the effects of COVID-19 disease on these parameters in young adults with objective, measurable data and to guide researchers and clinicians who do/will conduct studies on the subject.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

post COVID-19 group

In this group cases, who were infected with COVID-19 and had at least 12 weeks after diagnosis, will be allocated. Those should have no symptoms of COVID-19 such as fever, cough, ageusia, anosmia, diarrhea, arthralgia, myalgia, sore throat, headache, chest pain.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Evaluation of Pulmonary and Extrapulmonary Impacts of COVID-19 on Young Adults

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants' upper extremity and lower extremity muscle strength, 6-minute walking distance, O2 saturation, posture evaluation, spirometric evaluation, pain threshold, pain intensity, dyspnea, and leg fatigue measurements will be recorded. In addition to these measurements, general fatigue, quality of life, depression, physical activity level, sleep quality parameters will be evaluated and the data obtained will be analyzed with appropriate statistical methods.

healthy control group

In this group cases, who were not infected with COVID-19 will be allocated.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR
