Brief Summary

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

In our study, university students who coded the course from various faculties and departments within the scope of a university-wide free elective course, after regular physical activity; It was aimed to examine the effects on lifelong learning, physical activity, fatigue, sleepiness, depression, anxiety and stress levels, quality of life and walking distances and physiological expenditure indices.

Detailed Description

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

Physical activity; They are body movements made using skeletal muscles in daily life and resulting in energy expenditure. In addition to daily living activities such as playing games, doing housework, walking, eating, and bathing, exercise and sports are also included in this definition. Physical activity is very important for a healthy life. Studies have reported that continuing physical activity, especially during growth and young adulthood, has positive effects on aerobic capacity, blood pressure, body composition, glucose metabolism, skeletal health and psychological health. Studies have reported that physical activity affects social and personal success in healthy adult individuals and is associated with sleep quality and depression. In this context, our work; After regular physical activity, university students who code the course from various faculties and departments within the scope of the university-wide free elective course; It was aimed to examine the effects on lifelong learning, physical activity, fatigue, sleepiness, depression, anxiety and stress levels, quality of life and walking distances and physiological expenditure indices.

Hypotheses of the study;

* Regular physical activity improves lifelong learning tendencies in university students.
* Regular physical activity increases the level of physical activity in university students.
* Regular physical activity reduces fatigue levels in university students.
* Regular physical activity reduces daytime sleepiness in university students.
* Regular physical activity improves depression, anxiety and stress levels in university students.
* Regular physical activity improves the quality of life in university students.
* Regular physical activity improves functional capacity and increases walking distance in university students.
* Regular physical activity reduces the physiological expenditure index in university students.

SINGLE_GROUP

Participants will be included in an 8-week regular exercise program. Evaluations will be made before and after exercise.

Primary Study Purpose

Blinding Strategy

NONE

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Exercise Group

This group will get aerobic exercise programme and respiratory exercise

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Exercise training

Intervention Type OTHER

Within the physical activity program, an aerobic training program will be applied to students for a total of 150 minutes per week for 8 weeks. Aerobic training includes moderate-intensity walking exercise. The concept of moderate walking will be explained to individuals at the beginning of the study. Maximal and submaximal heart rate calculations will be made with the formulas (220-age) / (220-age X 0.6) and this heart rate will be maintained throughout the training. Students will have a pedometer application installed on their phones and their step counts and exercise minute data will be recorded. At the same time, in order for students to use their respiratory functions properly during regular walking, diaphragmatic breathing and alternating nose breathing breathing exercises will be taught and they will be instructed to do them once a day with 5 repetitions.
