Spending time on social media, education level, and marital status affected physical and emotional fatigue. The aim of the current study was to analyze to what extent COVID-19 Fear and Total CIS which includes concentration, motivation, physical activities, and subjective fatigue were related to each other. The second goal of the study was to predict the effects of COVID-19 fear, following COVID-19 daily report, and marital status on the CIS level. The research was carried out in Turkey with 73 participants (Females n= 39, 53.4%). In order to measure fatigue levels, the Check Individual Strength (CIS) scale was used. COVID-19 fear scale was used to compute the level of COVID-19 Fear. The results suggested that COVID-19 was positively related to subjective fatigue experiences (r= .26, p =0.03) and physical activities (r = .55, p = 0.0001). Physical activities were explained with 33 percent by gender differences and COVID-19 fear; F (2, 70) =18.8, p=.0001, R² =.35. Relationship status and following COVID-19 daily reports were predictors of total CIS; F (2, 70) = 5.8, p = .005, R² =.14. In conclusion, the study suggested that COVID-19 Fear had a significant effect on subjective fatigue experiences and physical activity functions. Gender and COVID-19 fear were significant predictors of physical activities. Relationship status and following COVID-19 had a significant impact on total CIS. The study suggested that total CIS can be used in a non-clinical sample.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCOVID-19 fearFatigueCIS scalemotivationConcentrationPhysical activityCovid-19 fear and gender were predictors of physical activities during the pandemicConference Object3131
