What this trial studies
This observational study examines the impact of physical inactivity on cough strength and balance in young adults, particularly in the context of disruptions caused by COVID-19 and earthquakes. It aims to assess the levels of physical activity, cough strength, and balance status among participants, and to explore the relationships between these factors. By conducting physical evaluations and questionnaires, the study seeks to provide insights into how sedentary lifestyles affect health in this demographic.
