The exercises were performed online with the researcher at the scheduled time one day a week, and by the children twice a week. On the days they exercised, diaries consisting of semi-structured questions were sent to the children's addresses by cargo and they were allowed to keep a diary.

The children were asked to fill in the follow-up form, which was sent via weekly google forms.
Just observation
