Clinical Trial 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.

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.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Functional capacity	Six minute walk test (6MWT) distance of the participants will be evaluated using the G-Walk sensor system	10 weeks
Primary	Resting heart rate	Resting heart rate measurements are beats per minute taken in the morning	10 weeks
Secondary	Flamingo Balance Test	Static balances of the subjects will be determined with the Flamingo Balance Test.	10 weeks
Secondary	Quadriceps Strength	Testing will be done at 90 degrees of knee flexion using Mechanical Push/Pull Dynamometer (MPPD) 22 lb (Fabrication Enterprises Inc., USA).	10 weeks
Secondary	Counter movement jump	The jump parameters of the participants will be evaluated using the G-Walk sensor system (BTS G-Walk BTS Bioengineering Company, Italy).	10 weeks
Secondary	Exercise motivation	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	10 weeks
