Detailed Description
The project is aimed at encouraging participation in sport and physical activity, especially by supporting the implementation of the Council Recommendation on health-enhancing physical activity and being in line with the EU Physical Activity Guidelines, since its main objective is to determine the influence of exercise and healthy lifestyle on body composition of young women aged 15-24 and to define a specific WISE Exercise Programme - a multidimensional model of dependence between body composition, lifestyle and nutrition which would enable the programming of optimal patterns of behaviour in life habits as a planned corrective measure and stimulate the young women in EU countries to avoid the drop out of sports.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Adherence [Once a week through study completion (6 months)]
Exercise diary
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Anthropometric factors with the inbody 230 [T0 baselie, T1 (3 months), T2 (6 months)]
kg
- Core strength (plank test) [T0 baselie, T1 (3 months), T2 (6 months)]
Seconds
- Upper body strenght (Hand grip) [T0 baselie, T1 (3 months), T2 (6 months)]
Kg
- Lower body strength (Jump test) [T0 baselie, T1 (3 months), T2 (6 months)]
Meters
- Endurance (6 minutes walking test) [T0 baselie, T1 (3 months), T2 (6 months)]
Meters
- International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) [T0 baselie, T1 (3 months), T2 (6 months)]
METs
- The Health Lifestyle and Personal Control Questionnaire (HLPCQ) [T0 baselie, T1 (3 months), T2 (6 months)]
This is a 26-item tool in which the respondent is asked to indicate the frequency of adopting 26 positively stated lifestyle habits using a Likert-type scale (1 = Never or rarely, 2 = Sometimes, 3 = Often and 4 = Always)
- Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale [T0 baselie, T1 (3 months), T2 (6 months)]
Is an 18-item scale that assesses enjoyment for physical activity by asking participants to rate "how you feel at the moment about the physical activity you have been doing" using a 7- point bipolar Likert scale, from 1 (I enjoy it) to 7 (I hate it)
- Period pain [T0 baselie, T1 (3 months), T2 (6 months)]
Total hours of pain, intensity of pain and location of pain
- The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) [T0 baselie, T1 (3 months), T2 (6 months)]
Is a self-rated questionnaire which assesses sleep quality and disturbances over a 1-month time interval. Nineteen individual items generate seven "component" scores: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleeping medication, and daytime dysfunction. The sum of scores for these seven components yields one global score.
- Conditioned pain modulation (CPM) [T0 baselie, T1 (3 months), T2 (6 months)]
Assessment of CPM in clinical practice can document the (in)efficacy of the endogenous anti-nociceptive system. we analyzed the effect that CPM had through the cold pressure test and pressure pain thresolds of the quadriceps
- Body Self-esteem Scale [T0 baselie, T1 (3 months), T2 (6 months)]
The scale contains 26 items that assesses body self-esteem, integrating two aspects, body satisfaction and body appeal using a 10- point Likert scale, from 1 (Not satisfied) to 10 (very satisfied)
- Rosenberg self-esteem scale [T0 baselie, T1 (3 months), T2 (6 months)]
A 10-item scale that measures global self-worth by measuring both positive and negative feelings about the self. All items are answered using a 4-point Likert scale format ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree.
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Participants aged between 15 and 24 years.
-
Sedentary participants who do not comply with the WHO physical exercise recommendations and with a low IPAQ, which means that they do not perform at least:
-
3 or more days of vigorous activity for at least 20 minutes a day.
-
5 or more days of moderate-intensity activity.
-
Walk at least 30 minutes a day every day.
-
5 or more days of combined moderate or vigorous intensity activities or walking achieved a minimum of 600 METs(min/week).
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Participants with diabetes.
-
Participants with possible heart problems or other type of contraindication that does not allow physical exercise (for this, the PAR-Q survey will be passed)
-
Participants who are not willing to wear the watch during the 6 months that the intervention lasts.
-
Participants who have contracted severe COVID-19 in the last 3 months. If the patients suffer from COVID-19 during the study, then they will stop exercising, but the measurements will be taken at the end of the study.
