Physical inactivity is widespread among young adults due to different disasters like theCOVID-19 and earthquakes. On the other hand, it is unknown how physical activity levelaffects cough strength and balance in young adults. In current study, it was aimed toinvestigate both cough strength, physical activity and balance status in young adults andthe relationship between these parameters.
Participation in free time physical activities has various health benefits such as
increasing academic success, improving quality of life. Physical inactivity in university
students has been triggered by disasters such as COVID-19 and earthquakes that we have
experienced. However, it is not yet known how physical inactivity and sedentary life
affect cough strength and balance in these healthy young people. Thus, this study aimed
to explore the cough strength, physical activity and balance status and the correlations
between these parameters in young adults.
Other: Physical Evaluations of individuals
Participants will be evaluated on cough strength, physical activity and balance. The data
to be obtained from all these evaluations are planned to be collected face to face from
the participants at once and within a maximum of 1 hour.
