The study aimed at reviewing the current evidence of the physical fitness components related to health on the levels of physical fitness related to child and adolescent in which the COVID-19 pandemic increases, through the scan of the traditional literature of the detective research methods. The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has become a major health problem by rapidly spreading around the world, and although there are differences between countries, many countries have implemented various measures to prevent the spread of the virus. Although the measures taken by most countries to prevent viral infection, such as restricting people’s areas of movement, social distance, distance education, quarantine and the cancellation of all organized activities, are important to reduce the spread of the disease, indirect consequences of restrictions have led to losses in the anthropometric and physical performance of children and adolescents especially. Unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as increased physical inactivity and unmoving behavior, are associated with health-related physical fitness deficiencies. Based on the existing evidence, the physical fitness parameters associated with health in children and adolescents in the course of the COVID-19 quarantine process should be taken into account. All children and adolescents should, to the extent possible, participate in the aerobic, anaerobic and muscle enhancement activities that develop physical fitness related to health. Future research is needed to identify the best ways to evaluate physical fitness in children and adolescents and to encourage long-term changes in physical activity behavior in all children in this situation.
