Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
On the other hand, it has been stated that smart wearable devices with mobile applications (such as smart watches, smart band) as digital health interventions are an interesting, interactive and efficient psychological strategy to promote physical activity and can be used as an intervention to promote a healthy lifestyle. Based on the literature, in our study, the exercise program developed by Chan et al., will be done online via "Google Meet" and symptoms can be evaluated with objective evaluation methods. Unlike other studies using digital media, exercises will be performed synchronously and feedback will be given to the musicians simultaneously, as in face-to-face exercises. In addition, all participants will be given a smart band, they will be encouraged to use it until the end of the study, and the change in their physical activity levels will be evaluated.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention Group
A 40-minute online education presentation will be given on the role of postural and dynamic muscles, the importance of physical activity, the gradual adaptation of the body to workload and physical stressors, rest, and injury management. They will also be asked to wear a smart band. Additionally, the exercise program developed by Chan et al., will be practised online via "Google Meet" once a week for 8 weeks, each session lasting 40-45 minutes.
The exercise program
The exercise program developed by Chan et al., consists of a 30-minute exercise period with 5 minute warm-up (diaphragmatic breathing, general body movements) and 5-10 minute cool-down (stretching exercises in addition to the exercises in the warm-up period) periods. Exercises include 6 steps and 5 series (neck, shoulder, spine, abdominals, hip) according to difficulty level. The total exercise program takes 40-45 minutes.
Online education presentation
This online education presentation includes the role of postural and dynamic muscles, the importance of physical activity, gradual adaptation of the body to workload and physical stressors, rest, and injury management. The education takes 40 minutes and will be done once.
Smart band
Participants will be given a Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 and will be asked not to remove the smart band except for bathing for 8 weeks, and to download the smart phone application (Zepp Life) compatible with the smart band to their phones, which will allow their steps to be recorded on a weekly basis.
Control Group
A 40-minute online education presentation will be given on the role of postural and dynamic muscles, the importance of physical activity, the gradual adaptation of the body to workload and physical stressors, rest, and injury management. They will also be asked to wear a smart band.
