Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Background: Multi-gravitational suspension-based therapy (M-Gravity) is a comprehensive discipline based on the principles of non-gravity, which serves to increase the quality of life and holistic health of the individual with the rehabilitation content of non-pressure inversion therapy.

Aims: To examine the effects of M-Gravity exercise on posture, physical fitness, quality of life, depression, and sleep quality in women without regular exercise habits.

Methods: This study was designed as a non-randomized controlled trial. This study included 20 women without regular exercise habits, who participated in the exercise with M-Gravity and 20 women who did not participate in any exercise program, a total of 40 participants. In this study, the investigators planned to evaluate the effects of M-Gravity on women without regular exercise habits. The following outcomes were measured: posture with the New York Posture Assessment Method, the flexibility of the hamstring and pectoral muscles, time is taken to stay in the plank position, depression levels with the Beck Depression Inventory scale, sleep quality is performed with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) questionnaire to measure the perceived health levels of the subjects. The measurement of the contraction force of the deep lumbar muscles is performed with the Stabilizer Pressure Biofeedback (Chattanooga Stabilizer). Two evaluations were made before and after 4 weeks of exercise.
