Detailed Description

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of telehealth-synchronized group exercise on sleep and quality of life, and secondarily, on the health and body perception of healthy young adults. This study is planned as a randomized double-blind controlled clinical study. The sample size was calculated using G\*power 3.1.9.2, which required 42 patients and a size effect of 0.8, 80% power, 1:1 allocation ratio, and an error probability of 0.05. Forty-eight participants were planned to be included in the study, based on the probability that 15% of the patients could be excluded.

Exercisesynchronized tele-exerciseThe exercises will be applied three times a week for four weeks. Each exercise is going to start with 10 repetitions and 1 set in the first session, and the exercises will be revised at the beginning of each week. Resistance will gradually be increased, and after four weeks, 3 sets of 10 repetitions will be targeted.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
World Health Organization Quality of Life-Brief Form4th week

The WHOQOL is based on a purely subjective evaluation to assess the perceived quality of life. The short version, the World Health Organization Quality of Life-Brief Form (WHOQOL-BREF) is a 26-item self-report questionnaire that assesses the quality of life (QOL) within the context of an individual's culture, value systems, personal goals, standards, and concerns. It covers four domains: physical health, psychological health, social relationships, and environmental health.

The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)4th week

The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is a 19-item self-report questionnaire that assesses sleep quality over the last month. Its adaptation to Turkish and its reliability and validity analyses were carried out in 1996 by Ağargün el al. It covers seven components of sleep each of which are scored between 0-3: sleep duration, sleep disturbances, sleep latency, daytime dysfunction due to sleepiness, sleep efficiency, overall sleep quality, and sleep medication use. The PSQI provides a global score that ranges from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating poorer sleep quality: smaller than 5, the score points to "Good Sleep Quality"; greater than or equal to 5, it indicates poor sleep quality (Buysee 1989, Agargun 1996). PSQI is a reliable and valid tool for assessing sleep quality in clinical and research settings.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Body Perception4th week

Participants will be asked to choose how they perceived their current body image, or "how they look'. Body mass index (BMI) classification will be used: 'Underweight', 'Healthy weight', 'Overweight', 'Obese', 'Severely obese'.

Perception of Physical Fitness4th week

Participants will be asked to rate their perceived physical fitness using a 10-point Likert scale; 1 indicating 'Very poor', 10 indicating 'Excellent'.

Perception of General Health4th week

Participants will be asked to rate their perceived general health using a 10-point Likert scale; 1 indicating 'Very poor', 10 indicating 'Excellent'.
