Brief Summary

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

Natural disasters can have adverse impacts on both physical and mental health. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and sleep disorders are among the most common problems seen after natural disasters. Exercise may represent a safe, cost-effective, accessible, non-pharmacological method for treating PTSD and sleep problems. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of exercise interventions on PTSD and sleep quality in young individuals affected by the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes in Türkiye.
