at survey time
Secondary outcome [5] 406485 0
Static balance will be evaluated with the balance test on one leg, and dynamic balance will be evaluated with the functional reach test. With the one-leg balance test, the time it stays in balance will be recorded in seconds. In the functional reach test, the distance between the starting point and the reaching point will be recorded and three attempts will be made and the average of the last two attempts will be taken.

Statistical methods / analysis
The sample size required for the study was calculated using the GPower (G*Power 3.0.10 system) program. It was determined that at least 18 individuals should be included in the group of those with COVID-19 and at least 10 individuals in the healthy group in order for this study to reach an a value of 0.05, an effect size of 1.5, and a power of 95%, to determine the mean kinesiophobia score difference (9.1) between the two groups.
At the end of the study, statistical analyzes will be made using the SPSS 15.0 program. By using visual (histogram and probability graphs) and analytical methods (Kolmogorov-Smirnov/Shapiro-Wilk tests), the conformity of all variables to normal distribution will be investigated. Descriptive analyzes will be given using frequency (n) and percentage (%) values for categorical variables, median, minimum and maximum values for non-normally distributed variables, mean and standard deviation (×±ss) for normally distributed variables.
The Independent Sample t test (Student t test) will be used to compare the variables that fit the normal distribution, the Mann-Whitney U test will be used to compare the data that do not fit, and the Chi-square test will be used to compare the uncountable data. The relationships between the non-normally distributed variables will be determined by Spearman and the relationships between the normally distributed variables will be determined by the Pearson correlation analysis method. The probability of error in statistical analysis will be determined as p<0.05.

Summary
Brief summary
The COVID-19 pandemic appears to have adverse effects on health and physical fitness in almost all segments of society. However, it is not yet known to what extent kinesiophobia, dyspnea, pain, fatigue, depression, anxiety, stress and balance are affected in adolescent volleyball players who have had COVID-19. For this reason, in this study, we aimed to compare kinesiophobia, dyspnea, pain, fatigue, depression, anxiety, stress and balance in adolescent volleyball players wo have had COVID-19 and who did not have COVID-19.
