Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Physical Activity Level
Time Frame: After the individuals permission, its taken in the first minute.
Physical activity will be assessed with IPAQ-SF questionnaire. IPAQ-SF is a self-report questionnaire that assesses PA in the last 7 days. Using the IPAQ-SF scoring system, the total number of days and minutes of PA were calculated for each participant as recommended in the IPAQ website. The IPAQ-SF records the activity in four intensity levels: sitting, walking, moderate intensity (e.g., leisure cycling), and vigorous intensity (e.g, running or aerobics).
Physical Activity Awareness
Time Frame: After they completed the IPAQ-SF, its taken in the sixth minute.
Physical activity awareness will be assessed with Cognitive Behavioral Physical Activity Questionnaire (CBPAQ). The CBPAQ scale consists of 15 items, including three sub-dimensions: personal barriers, outcome expectations and self-regulation. The individual items are rated at 1-5 according to the situation in which they are most appropriate. The higher the score, the higher the level of awareness.
Secondary Outcomes
- Number of Steps(After the individuals permission, number of steps will be taken at the end of the first week.)
