  • Other: exercise capacity
    • 3minute step test and 1minute sit to stand test used assessment of exercise capacity.

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Physical Activity Level-International Physical Activity Questionnaire
    • Time Frame: 8 minutes
    • Physical activity level will be evaluated International Physical Activity Questionnaire- Short Form (IPAQ-SF). IPAQ short version asks spended time during sitting, walking, moderate and vigorous physical activities. The score is obtained by multiplying the minutes, days and metabolic equivalent values. According to these scores, physical activity levels are classified as “inactive”, “minimally active” and “very active”.
  • Coronavirus Phobia-Coronavirus-19 Phobia Scale
    • Time Frame: 5 minutes
    • COVID-19 phobia will be evaluated with Coronavirus-19 Phobia Scale (C19P-S) and total score ranges from 20-100. Lower scores mean better outcome.
  • Exercise Capacity
    • Time Frame: 15 minutes
    • Exercise capacity will be evaluated with 1-minute sit to stand test and 3-minute step test. Maximum heart rate, minimum saturation, count of step are record during the 3 minute step test. Number of sit to stand for 1 minute is recorded end of the 1 minute sit to stand test.
  • Weekly Average Steps
    • Time Frame: 2 minutes
    • The number of steps in the last week was recorded and averaged using the pedometer applications from the participants own smartphones. <5000 steps/day sedentary 5000-7499 steps/day low active 7500-9999 steps/day somewhat active ≥10 000 steps/day active >12 500 steps/day highly active

Secondary Measures

  • Cognitive Function-Standardized Mini Mental State Examination
    • Time Frame: 5 minutes
    • Cognitive function evaluation will be Standardized Mini Mental State Examination (SMMSE). Scores less than 23 mean cognitive impairment.
  • Quality Of Life-Nottingham Health Profile
    • Time Frame: 10 minutes
    • Quality of life will be evaluated with Nottingham Health Profile (NHP). This questionnaire categorizes are energy, pain, emotional reactions, sleep, social isolation, physical mobility, depression and anxiety. Lower scores mean better outcome.
