About

Derangements in the cardiorespiratory and musculoskeletal systems which normally direct effect on the sports performance of athlete together with physical inactivity during COVID-19 infection are the main factors that may decrease the performance of the professional athletes.

The aim of this study is to compare the sports performance of adolescent athletes that has COVID-19 infection with those did not.
