Coronavirus (COVID-19) is one of the pathogens that primarily targets the respiratory. This disease is considered to have emerged in China in late December 2019. The most common initial symptoms of COVID-19'un are fever, cough and tiredness. The absence of spesific preventive or therapeutic medical interventions for COVID-19 infection and recommendations such as avoiding social interactions and staying at home have emerged to prevent the rate of transmission. To prevent the spread of the COVID-19, governments are taking measures to tighten quarantine and require all citizens to stay at home as much as possible. These measures have harmful consequences for everyone's life. One of them is physical inactivity. It is likely that quarantine at home will cause a decrease in moderate physical activity level and cause sedentary behavior. Fitbit, an American company that develops a wearable device that tracks people's physical activity levels worldwide; reported that the average number of steps in almost all countries decreased from %7 to %38 compared to the same time of last year. This shows that quarantine causes a significant decrease in people's physical activity levels. Given the effects of physical activity on overall and cardiovascular health, it is recommend that people exercise at home. Staying active during quarantine and maintaning a physical exercise routine will be crucial for mental and physical health. During this period, exercise can be done using treadmills, bicycles, fitness balls, elastic bands and weights. Exercises conducted with video and online guided protocols can also be helpful.
