Physical inactivity is widespread among young adults due to different disasters like the COVID-19 and earthquakes. On the other hand, it is unknown how physical activity level affects cough strength and balance in young adults. In current study, it was aimed to investigate both cough strength, physical activity and balance status in young adults and the relationship between these parameters.
Participation in free time physical activities has various health benefits such as increasing academic success, improving quality of life. Physical inactivity in university students has been triggered by disasters such as COVID-19 and earthquakes that we have experienced. However, it is not yet known how physical inactivity and sedentary life affect cough strength and balance in these healthy young people. Thus, this study aimed to explore the cough strength, physical activity and balance status and the correlations between these parameters in young adults.

| Static balance score | It was assessed with a single-leg balance test and the maximum time in this position was recorded in seconds with a stopwatch. | through study completion, an average of 1 year |
| Dynamic balance score | I was assessed with the standing functional reach test. Participant was asked to extend their arms forward parallel to the wall, the distance between the starting point and the farthest reached point was measured. As this distance increases, the balance increases. | through study completion, an average of 1 year |
