Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Aerobic Exercise
• Interventions: Other: Moderate-intensity aerobic activities

• Registration Number: NCT05097196
• Lead Sponsor: Afyonkarahisar Health Sciences University

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of commercially produced new generation smart step board and step-aerobic exercises for 6 weeks on the functional capacity and physical performance of young sedentary individuals.

Detailed Description

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of commercially produced new generation smart step board and step-aerobic exercises for 6 weeks on the functional capacity and physical performance of young sedentary individuals. The primary outcomes to be evaluated are the functional improvements in individuals' balance, functional capacity, muscle strength, and resting heart rate after 6 weeks of step-aerobic exercises. Secondary results are the evaluation of the effects of individuals on jumping performance and exercise motivation. It is thought that the results obtained in the study will reveal new information for studies investigating home-based exercise and rehabilitation practices and may provide evidence for larger studies involving a diagnosis of a disease in the future.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Step Aerobic Group	Moderate-intensity aerobic activities	Step aerobic exercise

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Functional capacity	10 weeks	Six minute walk test (6MWT) distance of the participants will be evaluated using the G-Walk sensor system
Resting heart rate	10 weeks	Resting heart rate measurements are beats per minute taken in the morning

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Exercise motivation	10 weeks	Motivation will be measured after exercise using a visual analog scale consisting of a 100 mm line. Individuals will mark on the line how motivated they are during exercise. Motivation points will be obtained by measuring the distance from zero to point o
Flamingo Balance Test	10 weeks	Static balances of the subjects will be determined with the Flamingo Balance Test.
Counter movement jump	10 weeks	The jump parameters of the participants will be evaluated using the G-Walk sensor system (BTS G-Walk BTS Bioengineering Company, Italy).
Quadriceps Strength	10 weeks	Testing will be done at 90 degrees of knee flexion using Mechanical Push/Pull Dynamometer (MPPD) 22 lb (Fabrication Enterprises Inc., USA).
