Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this randomized controlled study is to examine the effect of the online exercise program on core stabilization and vertical jump performance and observe the relationship between physical activity levels and motivation. In addition, compare these parameters with the exercise group and control group. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does a 6-week online exercise program at university have an effect on core stabilization and vertical jump? Does exercise have an effect on motivation and physical activity level?

Description:

Background: The importance of physical activity and exercise is increasing day by day. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of the online exercise program on core stabilization and vertical jump performance and observe relationship with physical activity levels and motivation.

Methods: The study included 51 healthy volunteer students registered at Fenerbahçe University and actively continuing their education. Evaluations were made before the exercise program and at the end of the sixth week. All assessments and exercise program were conducted online. Two of Mcgill's trunk muscle endurance tests were preferred to evaluate core stability: Trunk extensor endurance test (TEET), bilateral side bridge endurance tests (SBET), and Prone Bridge Test (PBT) was preferred for flexor endurance. Vertical Jump (VJ) test was used to evaluate vertical jump height performance. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) was used to determine the physical activity levels of individuals, and the Physical Activity Participation Motivation Scale (MSPPA) was used to measure their motivation to participate in physical activity.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Trunk extensor endurance test (TEET)	Test time was recorded manually with a stopwatch. The longer stays in the same position, the better the test result.	0th and 6th Week
Primary	Bilateral side bridge endurance tests (SBET)	Test time was recorded manually with a stopwatch. The longer stays in the same position, the better the test result.	0th and 6th Week
Primary	Prone Bridge Test (PBT)	Test time was recorded manually with a stopwatch. The longer stays in the same position, the better the test result.	0th and 6th Week
Primary	Vertical Jump Test	Maximum jump height as an indicator of lower extremity muscle strength can provide important information about functional capacities and performances in most sports and people in preparation for sports	0th and 6th Week
Secondary	Motivation Scale For Participation in Physical Activity	The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 16 and the highest score is 80. Participants' high scores from the scale mean that their motivation to participate in physical activity is positive. In this context, the scores the participants receive from FAKMS are 1-16 for very low, 17-32 for low, 33-48 for medium, 49-64 for high, and 65-80 for very high physical activity. indicates that they have motivation to participate. 3rd, 9th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th of the scale. The items are inverse items.	0th and 6th Week
Secondary	International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)	Scoring a HIGH level of physical activity on the IPAQ means your physical activity levels equate to approximately one hour of activity per day or more at least a moderate intensity activity level.; Scoring a MODERATE level of physical activity on the IPAQ means you are doing some activity more than likely equivalent to half an hour of at least moderate intensity physical activity on most days.; Scoring a LOW level of physical activity on the IPAQ means that you are not meeting any of the criteria for either MODERATE of HIGH levels of physical activity.	0th and 6th Week
