Statistical methods / analysis
The sample size required for the study was calculated using the GPower (G*Power 3.0.10 system) program. It was determined that at least 18 individuals should be included in the group of those with COVID-19 and at least 10 individuals in the healthy group in order for this study to reach an a value of 0.05, an effect size of 1.5, and a power of 95%, to determine the mean kinesiophobia score difference (9.1) between the two groups.
At the end of the study, statistical analyzes will be made using the SPSS 15.0 program. By using visual (histogram and probability graphs) and analytical methods (Kolmogorov-Smirnov/Shapiro-Wilk tests), the conformity of all variables to normal distribution will be investigated. Descriptive analyzes will be given using frequency (n) and percentage (%) values for categorical variables, median, minimum and maximum values for non-normally distributed variables, mean and standard deviation (×±ss) for normally distributed variables.
The Independent Sample t test (Student t test) will be used to compare the variables that fit the normal distribution, the Mann-Whitney U test will be used to compare the data that do not fit, and the Chi-square test will be used to compare the uncountable data. The relationships between the non-normally distributed variables will be determined by Spearman and the relationships between the normally distributed variables will be determined by the Pearson correlation analysis method. The probability of error in statistical analysis will be determined as p<0.05.

Number of cases and deaths are constantly changing and restrictions related the pandemic are constantly being implemented. Therefore, the lifestyles of societies have changed drastically. Individuals have experienced physical inactivity and mood disorders during this pandemic. As known, although it has been known that kinesiophobia may be observed in the patients related to pandemic conditions, the status of kinesiophobia, physical activity, depression, anxiety and stress levels in individuals who have had COVID-19 compared to healthy individuals are still unknown. Therefore, in this study, it was planned to investigate the levels of kinesiophobia, physical activity, depression, anxiety and stress in individuals who have had COVID-19 compared to healthy individuals.
