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.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Exercise The 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. |
Other: synchronized tele-exercise
All evaluations and exercise interventions will be performed by via Google Meet, a video-conferencing application. The participation link will be sent to the individual by the researcher before each session. In case of any technological disruption, the session will be postponed to the nearest available time by phone. All interventions will be run by a blinded researcher.
|
| No Intervention: Control After a waiting period of four weeks, the participants will be contacted for reevaluation, and at the end of the assessment, an individual home exercise program will be created for them. |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) [0th 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.
- The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) [4th week]

- World Health Organization Quality of Life-Brief Form [0th 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.

Secondary Outcome Measures
- Body Perception [0th 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'.
