Official title
Effects of Different Exercise Approaches on Physical Activity Level and Health Outcomes in Inactive Adults
Overview
This randomized, controlled, single-blind study aims to compare the effects of different exercise approaches on physical activity level and health-related outcomes in inactive adults. Thirty inactive individuals aged 18-35 years will be randomly assigned to supervised face-to-face group exercise, mobile application-based exercise, or video-based home exercise. Exercise programs will be performed three days per week for eight weeks and will include aerobic, strengthening, and flexibility exercises.
Interventions
- Other Face-to-Face Supervised Exercise
Participants will perform supervised face-to-face group exercise sessions three days per week for eight weeks under the guidance of a physiotherapist. Each session will include aerobic, strengthening, and flexibility exercises. - Device Mobile App-Based Exercise
Participants will perform exercise sessions using the Nike+ Training Club mobile application three days per week for eight weeks. The program will include aerobic, strengthening, and flexibility exercises delivered through asynchronous video content. - Other Home-Based Video Exercise
Participants will perform video-based home exercise sessions using the "Walk at Home: Leslie" program three days per week for eight weeks. The program will include aerobic, strengthening, and flexibility exercises.
Primary outcome measures
- Total Physical Activity Level [Time frame: From baseline to the end of the intervention at 8 weeks]
Secondary outcome measures (8)
- Daily Step Count [Time frame: From baseline to the end of the intervention at 8 weeks]
- Active Time [Time frame: From baseline to the end of the intervention at 8 weeks]

- Lower Extremity Muscle Strength [Time frame: From baseline to the end of the intervention at 8 weeks]
- Health Releated Quality of Life [Time frame: From baseline to the end of the intervention at 8 weeks]
- Participant Satisfaction and Perceived Change [Time frame: At the end of the intervention (8 weeks)]
