The height of the participants was measured using a fixed stadiometer with 0.5 cm precision.While the person is standing during the measurement; Measurements were taken without shoes, head upright, feet touching the wall with heels together, knees tense, body upright and head in Frankfort plane.

Mood

Beck Depression Inventory: Individuals' emotional states were evaluated with the Turkish version of the Beck Depression Inventory (ref). BDI is a self-assessment scale designed to define and measure the severity of depression in healthy individuals and psychiatric patient groups. It consists of 21 items in total and each item is scored between 0-3. A total is obtained by summing the scores of all items. A high total score indicates a high severity of depression. 0-9 points = no depression, 10-16 points = mild depression, 17-29 points = moderate depression, 30 and above = severe depression

evaluated with a bioelectrical impedance analyzer (Tanita RD-545)

waist circumference measurement

时间窗: Change from Baseline waist circumference measurement at 2 months

Individuals were asked to stand with arms outstretched and feet together, and measurements were taken from the narrowest part of the trunk. Since it is difficult to determine the narrowest part of the trunk in obese individuals, the evaluation was made from the midpoint between the ribs and the iliac crest.

Body Mass Index

weight and height will be combined to report BMI in kg/m\^2)

Sleep Quality

时间窗: Change from Baseline Sleep Quality at 2 months

Pittsburg Sleep Quality index: The Turkish version of the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (ref) was used for the quantitative evaluation of sleep quality. The scale consists of a total of 24 questions, 19 of which are self-report (self-report) questions and 5 of which are answered by the individual's spouse or roommate (these questions are not included in the calculation), and it evaluates the last one-month period. Self-assessment questions are related to sleep quality and do not indicate sleep disturbance and the prevalence of the disorder. The 18 items scored are grouped into seven component scores (subjective sleep quality, sleep delay, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbance, use of sleeping pills, daytime dysfunction). The total score of the seven components is equal to the total index score. Each item is scored between 0-3 and the total score varies between 0-21. A total score of five or more indicates poor sleep quality.

hip circumference measurement

时间窗: Change from Baseline hip circumference measurement at 2 months

The widest protrusion level of the hip muscles was measured at the level of the symphysis pubis anteriorly and in the posterior region.

Body Fat Ratio

evaluated with a bioelectrical impedance analyzer (Tanita RD-545)

leg circumference measurement

时间窗: Change from Baseline bilateral leg circumference measurement at 2 months

The measurement was made in a standing position. Measurements were made at the midpoint between the inguinal region and the proximal part of the patella or where the muscle was most swollen. 10-15 cm above the patella corresponds to this point

Flexibility Assessment

Trunk Flexion and Hamstring Length, Trunk Hyperextension, Trunk Lateral Flexion

Psychosocial Status Assessment

时间窗: Change from Baseline Psychosocial Status Assessment at 2 months

Quality of Life (Short Form) Scale: The scale includes a total of 36 items and 8 subsections to be answered considering the last four weeks. health status is evaluated between 0 and 100 points in total. 0 indicates worst health, 100 indicates best health.

Fatigue Severity

时间窗: Change from Baseline Fatigue Severity at 2 months

Fatigue Severity Scale: The Turkish version of the Fatigue Severity Scale (ref) was used to evaluate the fatigue status of individuals. The scale assesses the state of fatigue in the last four weeks, including the day it was filled. Individuals score between 0 and 7 (for each question?) on the scale, which consists of 9 questions in total. High scores indicate increased fatigue

Trunk Lateral Flexion Flexibility Assesment

时间窗: Change from Baseline Trunk Lateral Flexion Flexibility Assesment at 2 months

The test was performed standing with the arms by the body and the feet parallel to each other and the back against the wall. First, the place of the distal end of the middle finger of the right hand on the thigh was marked. Then, the subject was asked to lateral flex the trunk without taking his back away from the wall, while sliding his hand down on the thigh. At the last point reached, the place of the distal tip of the middle finger on the thigh was marked and the distance from the initial measurement point was measured. The same operations were repeated for the left side.

waist/hip ratio circumference measurement

时间窗: hange from Baseline waist/hip ratio circumference measurement at 2 months

It was calculated by dividing the waist circumference (cm) of the individuals by the hip circumference (cm). Waist/hip Ratio is the most commonly used anthropometric method to determine fat distribution. While waist circumference of 90 cm and above determines the risk increase in men, this measurement is 80 cm and above in women. Waist circumference of 102 cm or more in men and 88 cm or more in women indicates a significant increased risk for coronary heart disease and metabolic complications.

bilateral arm circumference measurement

时间窗: Change from Baseline bilateral arm circumference measurement at 2 months

The midpoint between the acromion and the olecranon was found and marked on the arm. The individual was asked to stand and flex the elbow by contracting the biceps brachii muscle. Circumference measurement was taken from the widest part of the muscle.

Trunk Flexibility Assesment

时间窗: Change from Baseline Trunk Flexibility Assesment at 2 months

For this test, individuals were asked to stand on a 15 cm high block, bend forward without bending their knees, and try to touch the tips of their toes. The distance between the fingertip and the block surface was measured with a tape measure and recorded in centimeters. With this test, flexibility of the lumbar region, hamstring and gastrocnemius muscles was evaluated.

Trunk Hyperextension Flexibility Assesment

时间窗: Change from Baseline Trunk Hyperextension Flexibility Assesment at 2 months

In this test, the individual stood facing the wall, keeping his pelvis and trunk in contact with the wall. For the initial value, the distance between the wall and the sternal notch was measured. After the pelvis was stabilized by the evaluator, the individual was asked to do trunk extension. The distance between the sternal notch and the wall was re-measured, subtracting the initial value from this value, and the amount of movement was recorded in centimeters.

Fat Mass

时间窗: Change from Baseline Fat Mass at 2 months

All carbohydrates, fats and proteins that are in excess of the need in the body turn into adipose tissue. A large part of this transformed warehouse is located under the skin, especially in the thigh, hip and chest area.
