Brief summary

In literature, there is no data evaluating respiratory functions in volleyball players during Covid-19 pandemic. The aim of this study is to evaluate and compared pulmonary functions, respiratory muscle strength, body compositions and performance situations perceptions in female volleyball players with Covid-19 and non-Covid-19.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Respiratory muscle strength10 minuteMaximal inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength will be evaluated using mouth pressure device.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
FVC5 minutePulmonary function tests will be performed using a spirometry according to the American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society criteria. FVC will be evaluated. The percentage of predicted value \<70% will be expressed as abnormal
FEV1/FVC5 minutePulmonary function tests will be performed using a spirometry according to the American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society criteria. FEV1/FVC will be evaluated.
PEF5 minutePulmonary function tests will be performed using a spirometry according to the American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society criteria. PEF will be evaluated. The percentage of predicted value \<70% will be expressed as abnormal.
FEF25755 minutePulmonary function tests will be performed using a spirometry according to the American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society criteria. FEF2575 will be evaluated. The percentage of predicted value \<50% will be expressed as abnormal.
Fat mass2 minuteFat mass will be evaluated using TANITA bioelectrical impedance analysis.
FEV15 minutePulmonary function tests will be performed using a spirometry according to the American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society criteria. FEV1 will be evaluated. The percentage of predicted value \<70% will be expressed as abnormal.
Fat-free mass2 minuteFat-free mass will be evaluated using TANITA bioelectrical impedance analysis.
Body mass index2 minuteBody mass index will be evaluated using TANITA bioelectrical impedance analysis.
Predicted muscle mass2 minutePredicted muscle mass will be evaluated using TANITA bioelectrical impedance analysis.
Symptom severity perceptions1 minuteSymptom severity perceptions will be evaluated Numeric Rating Scale.The severity of symptoms perceptions related to Covid are scored 0-10 point. Higher scores indicate higher severity of symptoms.
Performance situations perceptions1 minutePerformance situations perceptions will be evaluated Numeric Rating Scale. Performance situations perceptions of all players are also scored 0-10 point. Higher scores indicate greater performance.
Fat mass percent2 minuteFat mass percent will be evaluated using TANITA bioelectrical impedance analysis.
