Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study was planned to investigate the effect of back health education given to academicians on physical function and body awareness. The study was completed with a total of 94 (49 female and 45 male) volunteer academicians (intervention group n=47, control group n=47) between the ages of 25-65, with a mean age of 43.22±10.924 years. The participants of both groups were evaluated before and after the 6-week education and training. In order to evaluate physical functions of the participants, One Leg Standing Test (eyes open and closed), Half Squat Test, Curl-Up Test, and Sit and Reach Test were used. The Body Awareness Questionnaire (BAQ) was used to assess body awareness of the sample. The participants of the intervention group received back health education (Back School) in the classroom. After the education program, they participated in exercise training for six weeks (one day a week). The control group was only given an informative brochure on back health and asked to read it.
