Brief Summary

The development of physical activity (PA) and exercise habits improves strength, flexibility, balance and coordination, activities such as walking, sleep quality and cognitive status in elderly people and supports their participation in social life. The aim of the study is to examine the effects of web-based Brain Breaks® (BB) video exercises (study group-WG) and posture and balance exercises (control group-CG) on the general physical condition, sleep quality and life satisfaction of elderly individuals. We expect this situation to improve the healthy lifestyle behaviors of elderly individuals.

This study, planned to be conducted in two nursing homes, was planned as Evaluation-BB Physical Activity/Posture and Balance Exercises-Evaluation-1 month follow-up. Participants' sociodemographic characteristics, blood pressure, pulse, respiration, height, weight, muscle strength and flexibility, walking performance, posture, sleep and quality of life and life satisfaction will be evaluated. After the first evaluation, 2-3 BB video exercises will be applied to the study group (total n = 140 videos, t = 3-4 min) and posture and balance exercises (t = 20 min) to the control group, two days a week for 8 weeks, for a total of 16 sessions. During the follow-up period, physical activity habits will be questioned through weekly telephone calls (n = 4). All statistical analyzes will be performed in SPSS 26.0 program, and p value <0.05 will be considered statistically significant. Differences within and between groups and relationships between data and factors affecting these data will be examined.
