Primary Outcome Measures

Physical activity level
Physical activity level will be evaluated multi sensor activity monitor for 7 consecutive days.
General Quality of Life
Quality of Life will be evaluated using Short Form-36 (SF-36) Health Survey Questionnaire

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
It has been found that physical activity recommendations with telerehabilitation in different disease groups improve the functional capacity, physical activities and mental health of the patients as much as the supervised exercise programs. However, there are no studies in the literature that provide online physical activity counseling in COVID-19 patients, and evaluate the effect of physical activity counseling on physical activity level, quality of life, physical performance, fatigue, kinesophobia, pain, dyspnea, mental health and behavior change levels. For this reason, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of online physical activity counseling on physical activity level, quality of life, physical performance, fatigue, kinesophobia, pain, dyspnea, mental health and behavior change level in COVID-19 patients.
