When the literature search is conducted, it is seen that there are many studies examiningthe 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 hasbeen determined that there is no study examining the impacts of this disease onfunctional capacity, physical activity, pulmonary function, emotional state, sleep, andquality of life in healthy young adults. This study will reveal whether COVID-19 diseasecauses an effect on the mentioned parameters in young adults. The aim of recent study isto investigate functional capacity, respiration, pain, depression, sleep and quality oflife in young adults post COVID-19. For this purpose, participants' upper extremity andlower extremity muscle strength, 6-minute walking distance, O2 saturation, postureevaluation, spirometric evaluation, pain threshold, pain intensity, dyspnea, and legfatigue measurements will be recorded. In addition to these measurements, generalfatigue, quality of life, depression, physical activity level, sleep quality parameterswill be evaluated and the data obtained will be analyzed with appropriate statisticalmethods.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.

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.
