Brief Summary

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

The aim of the study is to examine the effectiveness of the exercises given to cashiers through ergonomics training.

Detailed Description

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

The work will be done with 60 cashiers. These cashiers will be selected on the condition that they work at least 40 hours a week. 60 employees will be randomly divided into two groups of 30 people each. All participants will be given ergonomics training. In addition, participants in the exercise group will be given a 12-week exercise program. These two groups will be randomly divided into control and exercise groups. Each group will be evaluated twice, at the beginning and at the end of the study.
