Official Title
"The Effect of Aerobic Exercise and Strength Training on Physical Activity Level, Quality of Life and Anxiety-Stress Disorder in Young Adults With and Without Covid-19"
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study; to examine the effects of aerobic and strength training onphysical activity level, quality of life and anxiety-stress disorder in young adults withand without COVID-19. In this context, the study was planned by including 15 participantsbetween the ages of 18-25 who had COVID-19 and 15 who did not have COVID-19. Data werecollected by applying the Personal Data Form, IPAQ (International Physical ActivityForm), SF-36 Quality of Life Scale, Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CCS), Respiratory FunctionTests (PFT), Six Minute Walk Test (6MWT). Aerobic training and strengthening trainingwere applied to people with and without COVID-19 for 12 weeks. Aerobic exercise (walking)was given for 40 minutes 5 days a week, with the target heart rate being 70% of theage-corrected maximum heart rate. Strengthening exercises were applied to the upper(triceps, biceps, deltoid, pectorals) and lower (quadriceps, hamstring, gastrocnemius,tibialis anterior, hip adductors, hip flexors, hip extensors) extremities and backmuscles (trapezius, latissimus dorsi) with theraband (resistance band). Significance testof the difference between two means in comparing independent group differences whenparametric test assumptions are met for statistical analysis in line with the datacollected from the participants; When parametric test assumptions are not met, MannWhitney U test is used to compare independent group differences, while when parametrictest assumptions are met to examine dependent group differences, the significance test ofthe difference between the two spouses is used; When parametric test assumptions were notmet, the Wilcoxon paired two sample test was used. In all analyses, p < .05 wasconsidered statistically significant.
